Would anyone downvoting me care to explain why they disagree? Look at Newton or Turing: what exactly did they do which couldn’t have been done in ancient Greece, and why is there no analogous counterexample for the SIAI?
Isn’t “why weren’t the Greeks working on Calculus” a far less silly question than “why weren’t the ancient Greeks working on AI”?
