Fair. I was purposefully imprecise with “over X years” because AI as a field changed a lot since the 1960’s and a lot of the hype was coming from science fiction instead of real R&D results, but I don’t disagree.
Has it, though? In 1970, the second AI winter pushed in from the north after ANNs didn’t become as revolutionary as imagined.
Guess what serves as the backbone of AI today? That’s right, ANNs. We’ve been on the right track for those 50 years. But it took a lot of iteration to suss out the small details – and there is still a lot more work to do.
The first AI winter was in 1966. Try something closer to 50 years, at very least.
