• Abstract summary: In a world driven by evolution by natural selection, would neural networks or humans be likely to evolve first? We find neural networks to be significantly simpler than humans. It is unnecessary for any complex human-made equipment to exist for there to be neural networks.

• Abstract: Humans have created artificial intelligence (AI), not the other way around. This statement is deceptively obvious. In this note, we decided to challenge this statement as a small, lighthearted Gedankenexperiment. We ask a simple question: in a world driven by evolution by natural selection, would neural networks or humans be likely to evolve first? We compare the Solomonoff--Kolmogorov--Chaitin complexity of the two and find neural networks (even LLMs) to be significantly simpler than humans. Further, we claim that it is unnecessary for any complex human-made equipment to exist for there to be neural networks. Neural networks may have evolved as naturally occurring objects before humans did as a form of chemical reaction-based or enzyme-based computation. Now that we know that neural networks can pass the Turing test and suspect that they may be capable of superintelligence, we ask whether the natural evolution of neural networks could lead from pure evolution by natural selection to what we call evolution-bootstrapped simulation. The evolution of neural networks does not involve irreducible complexity; would easily allow irreducible complexity to exist in the evolution-bootstrapped simulation; is a falsifiable scientific hypothesis; and is independent of / orthogonal to the issue of intelligent design.

  Animals are born with some intelligence encoded in their genes, but machines lack such intelligence and learn from scratch. Inspired by the genes of animals, we define the genes'' of machines named as the learngenes'' and propose the Genetic Reinforcement Learning (GRL) GRL is a computational framework that simulates the evolution of organisms in reinforcement learning (RL) and leverages the learngenes to learn and evolve the intelligence agents.

  We argue that the search for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) should start from a much lower level than human-level intelligence. Our hypothesis is that learning occurs through sensory feedback when an agent acts in an environment. We evaluate a method to evolve a biologically-inspired artificial neural network that learns from environment reactions.
