  Based on the title I thought this was going to be about simulated organisms, but no, it's real organisms designed by an AI.

  This is simultaneously really cool and supremely creepy.

  Can someone with more understanding than me please comment what can be acheived with this tech in next decade or several decades.

  From a layman perspective this seems outstanding to me but I am failing to imagine what can be achieved from this?

  An intriguing idea is what if we don't need to directly solve general artificial intelligence, but instead use standard AI to design and create biological life that is generally intelligent for some domain.

  Organic nano bots, this will surly surpass metal gear!
