    Specifically trying to do something will get it done a lot faster than waiting for it to happen by chance.

        Yes it is, in fact. Tiny, random variations, which typically take millions of years to end being a noticeable change.

              about a million times faster than evolution

              Ah, so you also think intelligent AI is at least 4000 years away.
