I mean, it's a known process.

There's a YouTube channel called Thought Emporium.

The guy used to do live streams were he designed custom DNA, and then ordered it from a lab that could produce it.

It was a simple commercial transaction.

    I used to work in a wet lab. Agree, designing or multiplying DNA is not a problem. The problem is to make it stable and do what you intend it to do. This could be done only by allowing ai to control the whole process with minimal human interaction
