While cool it's worth noting that ChatGPT was only used to find a university to work with. The sequencing was done using a machine learning program that determines protein folding. Such programs existed long before current LLm AI (but LLM AI have improved them). Also they didn't cure the dog, but have had some effect on the cancer and are hoping more treatments will continue to treat her tumours.
Yeah the article does mention how personalised vaccines against cancer are in clinical trials. This guy took that approach and applied it to his dog with the help of a university (and I'm guessing a lot of money). Sounds very promising for future cancer research (of humans and animals).

sure would be nice if this administration wasn't outright hostile to MRNA research.
