I think you have that backwards; natural evolution is absurdly slow because it takes a very long time to cycle through generations of animals whereas genetic programming on a computer to evolve algorithms can happen billions of times a day because computers are much faster at cycling through possibilities.

Computers can do it faster.

Yes, now you got me thinking more about my concept of how I see the difference between evolution by natural selection and evolution by artificial selection.

And I agree with you that AI can be much faster.

I still think the artificial selection can be influence by us - humans - so we might add flows in the sistem from the beginning. Of course AI can learn to identify them maybe. But maybe not. Like in the case when looking from inside a system one cannot see how the system really is so it cannot fix it.

Of course what I say are just some hypothesis, nothing proven and I think they cannot yet be falsifiable.
