Not just computer game AI. Literally university courses called "Artificial Intelligence" would teach A*, formal logic, planning, knowledge representation, etc.

Not just computer game AI. Literally university courses called "Artificial Intelligence" would teach A*, formal logic, planning, knowledge representation, etc. See for example the famous Russell-Norvig textbook. Since deep learning became dominant around 2012-2014, that conception of AI is now (somewhat deprecatingly) called GOFAI, or "good old-fashioned AI".
- throwawayoldie 1y agoI'm old enough that my AI class in undergrad was taught from the first edition of Russell and Norvig. Neural networks (i.e. the basis of 95% of what today is called "AI") got one chapter, and it wasn't a long or detailed chapter either.
- upghost 1y agoI guess the 5th edition will need to be called "Artificial Intelligence: An Outdated Approach". I absolutely love that book. Maybe that's why I get a little cringey at the "AI" monicker for LLMs.
