To be honest restricting funding to the kind of symbolic based AI research that is criticized in this discussion might have helped AI more than it hurt , by eventually pivoting the research toward neural networks and backpropagation. I don’t know how much of a good thing would have been if this kind of research continued to be funded fully.

Symbolic AI still alive and kicking, https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.00854 also liking the experiments around Graph Neural Networks and hybrids thereof.
