For some time I've been drawing parallels between ML/AI and how biology "solves problems" - evolution. And I also am bit disappointed by the fact the future might lead us in a different direction than mathematical elegance of solving problems.

You’re right though, we’re basically there with AI/ML aren’t we. I mean I guess we know why it does the things it does in general, but the specific “reasoning“ on any single question is pretty much unanswerable.
Neural network: created via training, does amazing things but (this is the area my knowledge is too small) it's bloody hard to decipher why is it doing the thing it does.
"Traditional" programming: you can (as in article) explain it down to the single most basic unit.
