Systems programmed by humans typically have coding standards. The human body on the other hand has been haphazardly developed over billions of years by the principle quick hack on top of quick hack on top of quick hack.

It's a complete mess of spaghetti code where anything that happens is the result of dozens of sub-systems trying to invoke or override each other.




And the origin of the original quick hack is still unknown because there was no version control at the time of the Cambrian explosion.


I like to keep that in mind when I consider what kind of solutions machine-learning will bring us, what kinda processes will be going on under the hood.
