Have some respect and don't call him "Doug", please! He's always been "Douglas Lenat"! Although questioned, Eurisko [0] (circa 1976) to me is a bigger AI achievement than the much fanfared AlphaGo! I have great respect for Douglas Lenat!

- nickpsecurity 11y agoThe one person who had the papers said what was in them didn't tell them enough to even understand how to implement the main loop. It was too vague. So, no detailed papers, no source, good results that might have been done by hand, steady funding for decades, and a commercial spin-off. One commenter said it looks like a Xanatos Gambit: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/XanatosGambit I thought Cyc project was worth a long-term investment but other theory might be simultaneously true.

- nikolay 11y agoWell, it still is. I have a simple test for true AI - it shouldn't have any math beyond simple arithmetics and look at machine learning today!
