What happened to them? They're everywhere in

become an easy way to get published. Nowadays they make up so many bio-
inspired variations of these algorithms that I think that they are going

are thrash, but there are a handful of genuine applications.
I recall reading that behavior predictions made by genetic algorithms
would enable one to corner the US stock market. Of course, that was

I have no idea what happened 2008, but now everybody plays BITCOIN.
As for neural net software, the brain is in 3D not 2D. Flat chips don't
cut it.
I think the only real way to have AI evolve, is to have a cellular life
form with real DNA, and start as worm in a primeval ocean. Stop when you
get Trilobites. :)
