Ignoring the fact that this is basically eugenics with extra step, I'll engage with the sci-fi elements. There's a difference between using gene editing to repair imperfections of nature versus using it to over-clock biological machinery in non-deterministic ways. It's Chesterton's fence but with millions of years of evolution. Yes we have the technology to edit genes today, but it will take whole lifetimes to "prove" anything in a truly scientific sense. The cherry on top is the off the rails justification that this is all very urgent and necessary because of the imminent arrival of "digital gods." LLMs have more self awareness than you do, and (ironically) you won't disagree with me.
