FSV "future". Who remembers the "Parry" program from the early 1970s? At SAIL, later renamed to SU-AI. Oh, if you weren't on the ARPAnet circa 1973, you probably never saw Parry. It was the first AI program I knew about. I don't remember which famous computer science guy said this, but there haven't been and will never be any "significant breakthroughs" in AI -- all progress will be slow and incremental. I say that recent apparent advances in AI are more due to faster cheaper computers and storage, and now the Internet, than to any new software tech.
