Have we screwed up artificial intelligence?

I'll do you one better. I don't think we've started on AI yet. What we have at the moment is some basic black box decision engines and work data scientists could have done 20 years ago if they'd been given the same budgets.

Artificial neural nets might form one small component of the AIs of the coming years and they will always be useful research tools but they are not the be-all and end-all of AI.

> The AI effect occurs when onlookers discount the behavior of an artificial intelligence program by arguing that it is not real intelligence.

> Author Pamela McCorduck writes: "It's part of the history of the field of artificial intelligence that every time somebody figured out how to make a computer do something—play good checkers, solve simple but relatively informal problems—there was a chorus of critics to say, 'that's not thinking'." AIS researcher Rodney Brooks complains: "Every time we figure out a piece of it, it stops being magical; we say, 'Oh, that's just a computation.'"
