If Ai helps figure out genetic editing, should babies be genetically edited to be 100% healthy?

Yes

No

It's like playing jenga with a house of cards. Ethicly why people haven't done it except china. So china bio engineer twins was born immune of aids but dozen other things far worse.

Even knowing how much we know about genetic altering only cements the true power and miracle that is life. While it does fuck up 1% out of billions, the deeper we manipulate the more we as people fail.

The only way to even get AI to start helping is for it to gather all genetic history and all probability faster then it's growing currently. Then the question of what is better vs worse?

Then ask what are they doing and how are they going about? Going back. it just a jenga game of a house of cards that's unethical to play even if you have the perfect tools to play with.

No, genetic engineering needs to be tightly controlled and not used to ‘perfect’ humans. This type of thing can lead to the rich controlling how they look and appear, their length of life etc. Also we do not have AI, we have Large Language Models, we need to know the stuff before it knows its stuff. We also run the risk of making a genetic change but not actually knowing the long term consequence, would it make everyone 100% susceptible to an old strain of plague etc. Also you would do this to the parents and foetus.
