That is super cool! I love how the design isn't conventional at all, or not what I expected.

My immediate response is to think that the machine was told to "do something that does X, Y, and Z while W". The computer kicked ass at this in your link, but if XYZ were more fuzzy, or required more lateral thinking, how would a machine fare? I guess a machine could try keep trying, but the number of options to take might explode over time.

Thoughts?

They all had the same information available. I will see if I can find the original paper.
