The controversy around AM is the same as around Eurisko, right? that it’s not clear how much was the AI and how much was Lenat. I believe that Lenat says the Traveller fleet design was 60% Lenat and 40% Eurisko. It’s not clear what it means to quantify that, so it’s not clear that he disagrees with the skeptics. In fact, his abandonment of Eurisko suggests that he agrees. Here’s the OB discussion of Lenat.
