In the old days where programmers knew that everything computers did was AI.
- neilv 4y agoIIUC, Marvin Minsky, at some early point in "AI", wanted to build it with computers as a method for understanding how the human mind works. I think Computer Science came a little later. When I got into "AI", much later, coming from CS and software engineering thinking, "AI" seemed to be "things we currently think are hard for computers to do (and useful computational methods that we've already figured out)". Now "AI" is getting different, and generalized AI is looking more plausibly attainable than it was shortly before DL. (Minsky thought it would happen quicker, and also speculated explosive growth of capability once the AI could teach and evolve itself.)
