: I can see no benefit from evolved AI

Why would it be any different than the benefit from designed AI?
And if the end result is a machine thta thinks like a man, only faster,
then the world will beat a path to your mousetrap.

I suppose one might argue that the computational resources invested in
evolving an AI would be larger, and this would render it less adantageous.
But it's not clear to me that designing an AI wouldn't require lots and
lots of simulation also. Sure, simulation is maybe cheaper than running
proto-AIs long enough to compete in some way. But how much cheaper, and
will it be cheaper than the human labor needed to design AI without
automated evaluations of alternatives?
