Meaning they do what they're supposed to, but the costs (time and money) might make it not viable for commercial use. Specially when there are known solutions that performs better. Brute force evolution algorithms are fun to observe and do research on. But at the end of the day, it's the more efficient manually trained algorithms that end up making their way to commercial use.
