> Perhaps we can cut out the middleman here. Maybe the answer is not for ML models to come up with human-understandable algorithms. Perhaps the answer is for them to produce optimized code that implements the algorithms they've discovered. I would rather a high level algorithm description as an output -- which could definitely be fed into some sort of compiler that ultimately outputs executable code. I feel like going straight to executable code isn't solving the problem GP was interested in, which I believe to be the problem of transferring knowledge from machine to engineer in much the way an engineer would transfer it to another engineer. An algorithm that outputs code without any high level understanding or documentation is about as useful to me in a large project as an intern who can copy-paste from Stack Overflow and produce volumes of code with no documentation, in the long term.
