@SW-User Yes.
But some of those AI dreams failed due to the same reasoning behind the Ptolemaic System.
The "center" wrongly imagined to be in the individual brain based intelligence.
A biased reading on the path of human evolution.
While we still take the individual (hard or soft) "robot" as the main paradigm, we are blind on the already working human social "machines" (dedicated teams), as guide.
The other blind spot was / is the focus on the "grip" side of tools instead on the side facing the external problem.
So, the once miracle of Aristotelic formal logic (the human side) led to Scholasticism, till Bacon put the focus on the material "truth out there", giving birth to Science.
The IA sin is IMO, even today, a case of late Scholasticism.

one was about vegetarianism and the other from thoreau
I'll share thoreau
visitors see it when they enter my house
Society is commonly too cheap.
We meet at very short intervals,
not having had time to acquire
any new value for each other.
We meet at meals three times a day,
and give each other a new taste
of that musty old cheese that we are.
We have had to agree on a certain set of rules,
called etiquette and politeness,
to make this frequent meeting tolerable
and that we need not come to open war.
We meet at the post office,
and at the sociable,
and at the fireside every night;
we live thick
and are in each other's way,
and stumble over one another,
and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.”
