Once Evo got familiar with the genomes of Phi X-174 and its kin, the researchers prompted the model to write new versions of its own. Evo generated 700,000 potential versions; the scientists pursued only the ones that looked as if they had the best odds of succeeding.
They ended up making DNA molecules from 285 of Evo’s suggested sequences. […] All told, they discovered that 16 of Evo’s genomes produced viable new viruses.
Dr. Crook cautioned that Evo’s viruses were not radically new creations. They tend to be very similar to natural species, relying on the same underlying biology.
look out for breathless boosters “warning” everyone that ai will kill us all and it’s definitely not used as a marketing strategy
