You might find the history of Doug Lennat's Eurisko informative.
"Lenat fed the massive Traveller rulebook into the system and asked it to find the best way of winning. Each night, after several hours of trial and error, Eurisko would spit out a few strategies—some interesting, some impractical, some ridiculous. At one point, Lenat remembers, it suggested he could win the game by changing the rules."

- lostboys67 9y agoah this was Traveller book 5 Trillion Credit Squadron Publish in 1980 or so. The authors commented that having a computer (when Pc's where ultra rare and expensive) would be useful :-) I commented at that time that a PC was essential and working at the cutting edge of AI would be "useful" Traveller (book3) was the basis for Elite as well
- cabalamat 9y agoBear in mind that Lenat won't release the Eurisko source code, and some people have speculated that it didn't do all that he said it did.
- gumby 9y agoI used to work for Doug and let’s say there is some “dramatization” in that characterization. Also Eurisko and other symbolic/semantic systems are fundamentally different from the NNs popular today.
