Robin, this criticism is hardly original with myself, though I’ve fleshed it out after my own fashion. (And I cited Drew McDermott, in particular.) Of course not all past AI researchers made this mistake, but a very substantial fraction did so, including leaders of the field. Do you assert that this mistake was not made, or that it was made by only a very small fraction of researchers?
