GPT isn't much more than these one-celled organisms. The big difference is that GPT is trained to communicate with humans because it is trained with our written language.
Now imagine feeding it all known DNA. The list of organisms whose DNA has been fully charted is long. I expect doing this will show newsworthy.
Another area where AI can be useful, is in bio-chemistry. It took one of these just hours to churn out thousands of new molecules. A few of these molecules could lead to new drugs.
One worrying thing is that AI, up until now, seems to yield more negative than positive results. In the example above, more than half of the new molecules are potentially dangerous. Poisonous, or not so easy to recycle, or... But all can be synthesized.

Its not without its flaws at the moment and I can see why some people might find it scary but I find it quite exciting to think what we might be able to achieve with it.
