How our genome is like a generative AI model

MIT Technology Review 

You might be familiar with such AI tools--they're the ones that can create text, images, or even films from various prompts. Do our genomes really work in the same way? When I was at school, I was taught that the genome is essentially a code for an organism. It contains the instructions needed to make the various proteins we need to build our cells and tissues and keep them working. It made sense to me to think of the human genome as being something like a program for a human being.
