Hmmm. My software compiles itself 'without human intervention' when I click the compile button (ignoring the thousands of hours of work I put into writing the code and the even larger amount of work that went into creating the compiler).
- Your code specifies design constraints--you need it to do X and Y and Z.
- The engine designers needed the engine to fit in X and operate at Y temperature and not blow up (Z).
- This program optimizes the engine design for the physics instruction set.

Computer: does literal rocket science
Programmer: sure, but it’s still just running a computer program
