Then you don’t understand evolution. Evolution isn’t design. A human writing a prompt is giving specific instructions to an AI model.
No such equivalent prompt saying “reproduce” can be found for evolution. And plenty of evolutions “products” in fact don’t reproduce, by choice or because they don’t find a mate who’ll take em, or because they have fundamental issues in their reproductive biology.
This is all aside from comparing a process that’s played out for about 4 billion years and declaring we’ve matched it because we got some agents to stay active for a bit of time by telling them to and giving them the energy they need, no questions asked. Certainly, evolution doesn’t give us any such comforts to carry out any “prompts” you can imagine it giving us, yet here we all are.
That’s what makes it a continuous running “prompt”
