> ou generate random code, purely random in raw machine readable binary, and simply evaluate a behavior. Most random generated code will not work. some, however, will work. and within that working code, some will be far faster and this is the code that is used.

Humans are expensive but this approach seems incredibly inefficient and expensive. Even a junior can make steady progress against implementing a function, with your approach, just monkey coding like that could take you ages to write a single function. Estimates in software are already bad, they will get worse with your approach

Today it might not work given what a junior could do against the cost of compute through random walk, but can you say the same in three centuries? We increase compute by the year, but our own brainpower does not increase on those terms. Estimates are that we are actually losing brainpower over time.
