Only on the same way that DNA is a cheat for constructing organisms. After all they are universal recipes for organisms. Study enough DNA sequences and splice together a sequence and you can theoretically design any mythical creature you can think of.

But if someone grew an actual dragon in a lab by splicing together DNA fragments, that would still be a major feat. Similarly, training a neural net to play grandmaster level chess is simple in theory but extremely difficult in practice.
