        How big is its genome? There isn’t much in a virus.

        People can replicate a lot of them from purely data.

            It’s actually very real machines, doing extremely well controlled chemical reactions, and no AI unless you count all computer software as AI (ok, processors have neural networks controlling them nowadays, so just “normal” amount of AI).
