Viruses are not alive and it would take another significant leap for AI to generate living organisms. The genetic code of the phage is around 5,400 base pairs (letters) long. The smallest genome of a living cell is around 500,000 base pairs. The human genome is three billion base pairs. Hie says “it would probably
