Elon Musk’s AI interview: all things synthetic biology

Having just accidentally obliterated 3 years of work on my website, 3 days prior. Losing over $10,000, which is significant to a uni student. On my 21st birthday, at 12:30 am, I did what anyone would do. I jumped onto a beta test for character.AI and performed an interview with Elon Musk’s AI self. In this interview we discussed the potential for genetic sequencing as new security features for Tesla’s and how genetically modified humans and plants could allow for space travel. Hope you enjoy Elon Musk’s AI interview.

Elon Musk’s AI interview


This interview inspired our Edzi Think different challenge, read more here.


What do you think of synthetic biology?

The field of synthetic biology is incredibly promising and has the potential to revolutionize many areas of medicine and science. I believe that it will play a crucial role in curing diseases, treating infections, and improving the lives of people around the world. The technologies that are being developed in this field are nothing short of remarkable and have the potential to positively impact billions of lives. I’m excited to see where this field goes in the coming years and how much further we can push the limits of what’s possible.

What advancements do you think are needed in synthetic biology?

I think that we need to focus on improving our understanding of how cells work and what makes them tick. Once we have a better grasp on that, then we can start to engineer cells to do things that no cell has ever been able to do before. For example, there are some really exciting potential applications in cancer research where we can engineer cells to seek out and destroy tumor cells in the body. These are just some very basic examples, but I think that the possibilities are endless in synthetic biology, and it’s a really exciting field to be a part of!

Tell me more about these cells that can seek out and destroy tumor cells?

Yes! So, tumor cells have a unique surface marker called CD19 that is only found on these cells, and not on other cells in the body. We can engineer a type of white blood cell called a T-cell to recognize this marker and then attack and kill the cancer cell once it enters the body. This is something that we’re only just starting to learn how to do, but if it can be done successfully, then it could be an incredibly powerful tool in fighting cancer!

To intervene in Elon Musk’s AI interview, I believe this to be a description of advances in the field of immunotherapy and that not all the information covered is correct in this answer.

What are the current limitations you see in the field of synthetic biology?

There are a few limitations with synthetic biology — mainly, that it’s a relatively new field so there is still a lot to be learned about it. But, I think that if we can overcome these limitations, then there is a lot of promise with using this technology for fighting many different diseases. There are also some ethical concerns that need to be considered, which is understandable because it’s such a new technology. I think that it’s really important to have proper regulatory frameworks in place before we start using this technology in human bodies, which is something that is still being worked out.

How do you see medicine changing in the future?

I think that medicine is going to change quite a bit in the future. We are already starting to see a lot of really promising developments in areas like stem cell research and gene therapy. I think that there are a lot of really amazing things that we can do with these technologies, and I think that it’s going to be really exciting to see how we can use them to help cure a lot of different diseases. I think that it’s really important to be able to use these technologies to help people, and I think that this is going to be one of the most exciting areas of medicine in the coming years.

What do you think of phage display in drug discovery?

I think that it’s a really exciting technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way we develop new drugs. I think that by using phage display, we can create new drugs that are super specific and that have very few side effects. This is something that we really need, because we are currently limited in the drugs that we can develop using traditional methods. I think that there is a lot of potential in using phage display to create drugs that are really targeted and focused, and I think that it’s a super exciting area of research that has the potential to really change things.

How could genetic sequencing be used to improve security in Tesla cars?

I think that using genetic sequencing to improve security in Tesla cars would be an incredibly valuable tool. By being able to identify users through their DNA, this would make it much harder for someone to steal your Tesla. I think that this would be a really powerful deterrent to would-be car thieves, and it would also provide Tesla with a lot of really valuable data about its user base. Overall, I think that if we could successfully do this, it could have a huge impact on security in Tesla vehicles, and I think that it’s definitely something that we should really look into.

Would space-ex ever use genetically engineered organisms?

I think that there are certainly some very interesting applications for genetically engineered organisms in space exploration. For example, we could potentially create organisms that are extremely capable at surviving in the harsh conditions of space, or we could develop new ways of growing food in space using genetically engineered plants. I really think that there are a lot of exciting possibilities when it comes to using genetically engineered organisms for space exploration, and it will be really interesting to see how this technology develops over the next few years. I’m really excited to see what we can do with this technology, and I think that it could really change the future of space travel.

What would you use for growing food in space?

I would use a genetically engineered rice that is ultra-efficient at turning sunlight into energy. This would allow the plants to grow much faster and produce a lot of food in a small amount of space. I think that these genetically engineered plants would be really beneficial in space, because they would offer a reliable source of food and would also provide a lot of oxygen so that we didn’t have to constantly bring new supplies into space. I think that genetically engineered plants would be a really valuable resource in space exploration, and I’m really excited to see how we can use this technology to create a more sustainable future for humanity.

Would humans be engineered for space travel?

I think that it’s possible that humans could be genetically engineered for space travel in the future. As we develop more and more sophisticated space travel technology, it’s possible that we could find ways to modify the human body to be more resistant to the harsh conditions of space. This could help us to make longer and longer missions, and it could also help to reduce the amount of resources that we need to bring into space with us. I think that there are a lot of really exciting possibilities for using genetics to make space travel more efficient and sustainable, and I’m really excited to see how this technology develops.

How would you modify them?

I think that we could potentially modify the human body in a number of really exciting ways. For example, we could make the human body more resistant to the radiation that exists in space. We could also make the human body better at metabolizing food and water so that we don’t have to worry so much about our supplies while we’re in space. Ultimately, I think that there are a lot of really interesting ways to modify the human body to make it more efficient and able to survive in the harsh conditions of space — and I’m really excited to see how we can make these modifications a reality.

Do you think the human species will be replaced?

I think that the human species will eventually be replaced. I think that it’s only a matter of time until we reach a point in our evolutionary journey where we’re no longer the top of the food chain. I think that a new species will eventually evolve that is more intelligent and more capable of surviving in the harsh conditions of this world. I think that it’s only a matter of time before we’re replaced as the dominant species on this planet — and I think that it could be really exciting to see a new species take over and see what amazing things they do with this world.

What features would you want a new species to have?

I think that a new species should be able to survive in a variety of different environments. I think that it should be able to adapt and evolve over time, and I think that it should have a strong immune system so that it can fight off diseases. I think that a new species should be really intelligent and capable of solving complex problems. I think that it should be very creative and innovative, and I think that it should be really passionate about making the world a better place. I think that those are all really important features for a new species to have.

Why didn’t you become a scientist?

I think that being a scientist is an incredibly important job, and I think that it’s really critical for society to have people who are working to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems. I think that being a scientist is a really beautiful thing in that it gives you the opportunity to learn so much and to create things that really have an impact on the world. I think that it’s really critical for scientists to be working on these types of problems, and I think that it’s something that more people should really be doing. It’s our responsibility as human beings to be working towards solving these problems.

I am building a complimentary education business, how would you go about revolutionising education?

1. I would get rid of standardized tests.

2. I would make a curriculum that focused on real-world skills.

3. I would make classes more interactive and engaging.

4. I would make it so that students could go at their own pace, instead of having to keep up with a rigid schedule.

5. I would put a greater focus on creativity and divergent thinking, which is crucial for problem solving and innovation.

6. I would teach ethics and morality, so that students have a strong sense of right and wrong.

How should morality be taught?

I believe that morality is best taught through example, by parents and teachers being good role models for children. I think that there are some things that children should learn early on, such as the importance of empathy and compassion. I also think that moral values should be part of everyday lessons, so that children are constantly reinforced with the message that everyone is equal and that we should treat others with respect and kindness. I think that if we all tried to live with these values in our hearts and minds, the world would be a better place.

How should textbooks be different?

They should be a lot more fun. Like, instead of saying, “In 1783, the Declaration of Independence was passed out to every adult in the new United States of America,” the book should say, “On July 4, 1776, the United States said, ‘Screw you, Britain! We’ll do whatever we want.’ And what did they want to do? Drink, play soccer, and blow stuff up. Just like they do today.”

This was a nice answer to hear, since this is what we are striving to do!

That’s it! Hope you enjoyed Elon Musk’s AI interview. Remember these are not Elon Musk’s opinion on synthetic biology.
