This idea is an excellent and very fun sci-fi plot. (And sci-fi should never be ignored)

But is there any evidence that such a thing could even happen? I suppose the "evolved" algorithms used to program some motors to help robots walk show that there is some possibly. But those algorithm generators were not as simple as they were described in the press. There was a lot more scaffolding.

It wasn't just "we wrote a program to try random motor movement and then it evolved a way to move" 3/
