- AnimalMuppet 3y agoThis isn't the first AI hype cycle. In the 1980s, Japan's "Fifth Generation Project" was going to create AI software, and thereby ensure Japanese dominance of computing for the foreseeable future. That was, IIRC, Prolog-based (or at least in that style). That... didn't work out. Before that, there was the AI hype of the 1960s. That was Lisp-based. That failed into the AI winter. So, yeah. The dream of AI has been around long before 2002. Of course, the definition of "AI language" when the article was written probably does not match the current one... (Or were you complaining that 2002 was too late for "I've heard that AI is the way to do things"?)
