Yes, I mostly agree here. But even with that manual handholding, it's no different from current, mostly-supervised AI approaches. Even if you think of Eurisko as a very clever optimiser when posed problems in a certain way, it clearly delivered some interesting results. Also, you _can_ find the source code for large parts of Eurisko if you look hard enough, I believe. Cyc never seemed in the least bit interesting to me, tbh. Even today several "we taught our AI common sense!" articles have hit HN, and it's still not _really_ true.
