It's a fun article, but solving the problem with the simplest, clearest solution possible should be the goal and if someone provided this solution I would hesitate to hire them. Yak shaving in training a neural network would actually make me nervous that the candidate would over-engineer solutions. It's not like whiteboarding sleep sort or something for a fast easy clever solution (if impractical and inefficient). The guy who has to maintain this version of fizzbuzz after it's wrote would loose his mind. I'm probably being overly practical - it's a very fun article.
