    Given a supply of energy and a lot of time, random search (and a selection criterion) is enough for order to emerge out of chaos. If you're not in a hurry, you can solve any problem this way. No intelligence required.

        That's likely how life originally emerged: random search over molecule combinations, producing increasingly complex molecules, amino acids, and proteins, until hitting the first assemblage that could spontaneously copy itself. Not unlike random-search powered program synthesis

        The history of life has been a lengthy upgrade from random search to genetic search. The next upgrade is intelligent design: humans (and their AI assistants) designing what's next

        Can one claim the selection criteria is a form of artificial intelligence if it requires some domain knowledge to set it?

        That's precisely what Grothendieck's saying in 'Récoltes et Semailles'. Agree.
