Trying to decipher the hidden language of (non coding) DNA is like aliens landing on earth knowing nothing about earth or humans, entering a public library, discovering racks and racks of printed text and trying to derive meaning out of it. There is meaning of course. But making sense of it is another matter. Maybe AI will provide that starting point.

Do you want acid-bleeding, face-hugging, stomach-bursting aliens? Because this is how you get acid-bleeding, face-hugging, stomach-bursting aliens.

At some point, and sooner rather than later, DNA will be read by computers and you will have a printout and picture of the person just from a DNA sample, with no comparative sample needed.

The computers will be able to tell you everything from eye color to shoe size.....................

Cliff Quote #71 “No Help Wanted”

Cliff: So as we see, the roots of physical aggression in the male of the species is found right here in the old DNA molecule itself. Yeah, right up here at about 1:00, as I recall.

Diane: Fascinating, cliff.

Cliff: Oh, yes, Diane. Fascinating. You, hold onto your hat, too, because the very letters “DNA” are an acronym for the words “dames are not aggressive.”

Diane: They stand for deoxyribonucleic acid.

Cliff: Ah, yes, but parse that in the Latin declension, and my point is still moot.

Since they really do not have a way of testing it, because they had to make assumptions in its development to this point. It might be workable down the road, but it's a starting point for now. I will never live to see that workable model. Right now I would have more faith in the Climate Change models, and I admit I have little if any faith in that one.

However, this clearly shows that the human brain beats AI. For man is the one that determines what is needed for the AI to function correctly (and it still falls short on many occasions). The same holds true with this endeavor as well.

Interesting endeavor though I must admit.

Will they be worse than Democrats? If not, then I'll take two please.

It just looks for patterns and tries to correlate those patterns with known areas of genetic responsibility.

Much more efficient at it than a human is............

“...researchers can attempt to decode the intricate information concealed within our genome.”

Good luck with that. The retards can’t even define what a woman is or which restroom they should use.

My DNA was just decoded it translated into “Be sure to drink your Ovaltine”.

I imagine that this AI model still cannot decipher “noncoding DNA”. This was once classified as “junk”, but now in many cases has been found to have important functions.

“At some point, and sooner rather than later, DNA will be read by computers and you will have a printout and picture of the person just from a DNA sample, with no comparative sample needed.”

They did that years ago to show Andrea Canning how it worked on ‘48 Hours’ or one of those true-crime shows. Pretty cool. The print-out was a very close likeness of her. It even showed the one ‘discoloration’ spot in one of her irises!

Wonder if AI will settle the MYSTERY of whether people are born Male or Female? Now THAT would be a scientific breakthrough!

But it can only work with what the human has provided to it has the inputted knowledge base. If that required assumptions, which is what I gathered from the article that assumptions were necessary, and those assumptions are off, then it may take years to come to the realization that the assumptions were off.

Like I said, it's an interesting endeavor. But it will still require a human brain to analyze what the computer spits out for accuracy. Much like the disclaimer of AI, or at least the ones I have casually used, that instructs the user that they should verify AI's results. 😋

However, that said it may still lead to a quicker improvements to the application. But it could also muddy the water just as easily.

The problem with using a machine, is that it tends to degrade the human mind. It also tends to create a dependency upon the machine.

Yet they created an mRNA therapy, grotesquely calling it a ‘vaccine’ as well, without knowing what they're actually coding...
