Those (three) people are not in AI field, at least for my taste. But:
Why do you think, present computers are not fast enough for a digital evolution of X?
A mind designed by evolution could be big and messy, about as complex as the human brain. Right now we have no computer powerful enough to simulate even a single human brain, and evolution requires many of those. Of course there are many possible shortcuts, but we don't seem to be there yet.
The question really is, can a program with an evolutionary algorithm in its core can do something better than a small elite of talented humans (with a help of computer programs) can?
The answer is yes, it can do it today, it can do it presently and it does.
People here on this list are mostly highly dismissive about "stupid evolution everybody can do, but it's a CPU time waster".
See!
or
All of the latter has been evolved in a digital environment with no additional expert knowledge of humans. Sooner or later, we will be evolving pretty much everything. All the big talk about the AI of some web experts aside.
When it will seem we are, we'll already be beyond of there.
