> something incomprehensible for humans

This might be buggy whip talk, but I wonder if you could take the same system and apply it to smaller problems (e.g. computing an 8-bit hash) so the novel techniques could be identified and used by humans.




One of the examples from another comment[1] here was:

"They found that in a sorting network handling 3 inputs, the AI found a way to save an instruction by reducing a "min(A, B, C)" operation to just "min(A, B)" by taking advantage of the fact that previous operations guaranteed that B <= C."

Which isn't incomprehensible at all.
