I never use Microsoft Word / Open Office to produce documents. If it has to be quick and dirty I just go to overleaf and maybe look up a template. The documents always look nicer this way.

No but this post is trying to generalize on an experiment where NNs are trained with GAs which is - in my opinion - not where NN shine.

Neural networks are just regressors. Yes you can learn the weights with genetic algorithms. Is this advised? Not so much : 99.99% of neural networks are trained with some variation of gradient descent on a specified loss function.

I don't even know if I agree to the statement. Polynomial regression solves basically the same problem as neural networks but performs way, way, way worse on big datasets. But nonetheless I would say that polynomial regression is machine learning too.
