Meh, after seeing a presentation on how genetic algorithms were used to figure out the most optimal walk for a dinosaur with a given skeletal structure, this does not seem that impressive or scary, especially since we probably have way more computing power now for machine learning than we did almost a decade ago.
No programming necessary, just throw in a bunch of variable settings for bone sizes, lengths, and weights, spawn hundreds of dinosaurs firing random muscle movements, and breed only the ones that manage to walk the most distance by pure luck with each generation, until you get descendants who are very good at walking thousands of generations later.
