Discovering the next decade's synthetic biology research trends with ChatGPT

Discovering the next decade's synthetic biology research trends with ChatGPT ChatGPT, a conversational AI (Artificial Intelligence) model developed and recently released by OpenAI (https://openai.com/),caused quite a stir.However, the debate of AI never fades 12345, it has been pushed to a peak by ChatGPT.We hear so much from social media that AI may cause bad consequences on society, for example causing a wave of unemployment in many areas, and for research it might compromise the current transparent science if not use it properly 6.On the other hand, people are excited about the potential changes and opportunities brought by ChatGPT, including the way of studying and research 7.It does not matter which side you are taking, ChatGPT is already here, and likely will continue impacting the entire society.Believe or not, AI is revolutionary and reshaping our daily lives.In the general Biology research field, Synthetic Biology is considered a revolution 8,9.Here, we are using ChatGPT to explore Synthetic Biology, and discover its research trends in the next decade.To see how cutting-edge AI can help practitioners of Synthetic Biology.Below is the record of our correspondence with ChatGPT (Jan 30 Version).The text following ''prompt:>'' is our input; while the text following ''ChatGPT:>'' is the output from ChatGPT.We did not make any edits to the texts generated by ChatGPT, and we did not interrupt the conversation either.prompt:> What is Synthetic Biology?ChatGPT:> Synthetic Biology is a multidisciplinary field of science that combines the principles of biology and engineering to design, build, and modify biological systems for specific applications.It involves the creation of new biological parts, devices, and systems, as well as the re-design of existing ones, to perform specific tasks or solve biological problems.This is done by using engineering approaches to design, construct, and manipulate biological systems, such as DNA and cells.The goal of synthetic biology is to create biologically-based technologies for various applications, such as drug discovery, bioremediation, biofuels, and biotechnology.prompt:> How is Synthetic Biology changing our daily life?ChatGPT:> Synthetic Biology is already starting to impact many aspects of our daily lives, and its influence is likely to grow in the coming years.Here are a few ways that Synthetic Biology is changing our daily lives.
