No magic; and yes all you have is algorithms and data. Obviously the algorithms contain an aspect of learning, and eventually the data guides decision pathways far more than the original algorithms; and even the algorithms themselves are mutable data.
edit: I should note, I’m just talking about some of our crude “AI” systems that we build today. I don’t know that this would be the actual software architecture of anything that could become a superintelligence. But it would have these capabilities and more...
So you say, then a magic happens and something new is born.
No, it doesn’t. Just the physics acted onto the engraved algorithms and/or data.

Crude or non crude AI, a physical configuration at the start and a physical configuration at any time since.
You can name it whatever you choose.
