As Darwin pointed out, there is not much difference between artificial selections and natural selections except that under natural selection nobody knows what is being selected for until after it happens. Sorry, you are wrong. Selective breeding by humans is driven by an intelligence and has an non-natural goal in mind. Natural selection isn't. As far as the program was concerned it did not know good from bad, it only had to discriminate between the two or be replaced by an iteration of the program that knew better. Ach, if it was able to discriminate between the "good" and "bad" it knew the difference. Of course, it would have to know the difference between "good" and "bad" - you designed it that way and you defined what the difference was.
