We had genetic programming though, and with the right harness you could accomplish impressive results: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2771783.2771796

You could view LLMs as a super-charged mutation function inside a genetic programming harness.

There's probably something there, though im not sure what. I'm thinking about LLMs token-filling and the 4 amino bases
