For the past couple years I have been using writing as a means to explore what an automated industrial society might look like. I work in robotics in Silicon Valley and my long term goal is to create a system that can provide for human survival at zero marginal cost. I like to say that if providing for people has zero marginal cost we can have socialism for free.
I'd be curious to know what you all think of my latest essay/story, and of the idea in general.
I would argue those systems are designed by humans using advanced tools. The algrithm that designs the engine block doesn't decide it should be designing an engine block - humans did.

I remember in college working with configuration expert systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge-based_configuration
Generally optimizing parameters for a set of requirements.
