> it can find things like the "sine function" via examples of inputs and outputs

I really like the idea, and reading through comments this question came to my mind.

Names are important for us. They synthesize what a "thing" is, and they help us organize knowledge.

So even though it might be true that for computers names are not that important (i can describe what i want), i believe they are for us, humans, when trying to understand a given system.

We grow systems both for humans and for computers.

What's your take on this? How would you find balance between the two?
