Doug Hofstadter makes some pretty compelling arguments for the possibility of AI and the underlying recursive systems but he doesn't call it AI he calls it cognitive research. If the first functioning AI isn't named Doug he will have been done a great disservice. Also he's yopos AF.

it's worth reading Lenat's "The Nature of Heuristics" to see what the symbolic-reasoning people were up to

also "Theory Formation by Heuristic Search" and "Eurisko: A Program That Learns New Heuristics and Domain Concepts"

not a neural net in the bunch, just a whole lot of frames in a custom language atop Lisp

Good post.
