It seems incorrect to call generative design AI. Isn't it just an implementation of a genetic algorithm? It would be more apt to compare it to natural selection

It seems incorrect to call generative design AI. Isn't it just an implementation of a genetic algorithm? It would be more apt to compare it to natural selection and evolution.
- sockaddr 4y agoCorrect, these components were evolved. But, even my human creative process is somewhat evolutionary. The bad ideas fail internal tests and are mutated on, then more successful variants are used to repeat the process. That's intelligence, so an evolutionary algorithm in my opinion is a form of artificial intelligence.
- KyleBerezin 4y agoThat would then imply natural selection itself is a form of intelligence.
- Gravityloss 4y agoGenerative design has existed for a long time and many cad packages have it nowadays. Nowadays you get more attention if you call it AI. There's been this long term trend to let machines to take over a bigger and bigger part of designing things.
