Some of the results are really impressive. There are domains where stochastic optimization works really well.
And even when it doesn't generate human competitive results, it's still cool. It's a computer program doing something previously only humans could do.
- mindcrime 11y agoIs this happening in 2015?

- jerf 11y agoMy criticism is more targeted at credulous blog posts, to do things like paint pictures with polygons more slowly than a human could do it in a paint program, with worse results. Professionals know what's what, and when to use it. I know it's not useless, it just doesn't particularly resemble the what blog posts like this present it as.
