I think you might be underestimating programmers in the 1950s.

Yes, and LISP was created only shortly after that, in 1955.

I don't think the GP is underestimating programmers in the 1950s but rather commenting on their definition of AI. Back then first order logic was considered AI to a lot of people. I feel like in 50 years, AI models will become so complex and sophisticated that they will look back at us surprised that we ever considered ChatGPT to be an AI since it fails at basic logic tasks like the event ordering example above.
