But aren't we? The modern ML revolution is programming via natural selection. Emergent behaviour from complex interactions of simple components trained by selection.
And of course, experience underlines how hard these programmes are to reason about.
However, seems to me, the key trick of these systems is that very complexity that makes them so hard to understand is what gives them their computational power.
