@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.
