These terms need to be used carefully...

Evolutionary algorithms, as a learning technique, are sometimes a good solution ... though in NM we don't use any classical evolutionary algorithms, relying instead on a customized version of MOSES (see www.metacog.org for a description of the general approach and the Boolean-function version ... in NM we require a much more general version), which combines evolutionary-learning ideas with probabilistic analysis and rule-based program normalization.

However, using evolutionary algorithms within an AI architecture, for specific purposes, is totally different from using evolutionary algorithms to CREATE one's AI architecture...

The latter, I agree, is "the last game in town" ...

The last game in town.

Some of us are making good progress towards AGI via engineering.

The first and biggest step is to get your system to learn how to evolve.
I understand many do not yet see this as a problem at all.

   shot at that route, let me know if you want a summary of conclusions
   and ideas I got to before I moved away from it.

I don't understand why you moved away from it (it's the only game
in town), but if you have a document of your conclusions to share,
fire away.
