No it didn't. Cyc was a big lesson on the failure of rule based AI. Lenat
had no idea how many rules are needed to implement AI. Now 35 years later
we know it's more than a million. There was no learning algorithm and no
language model.

Your phone is smart because it can see, hear, sense location and movement,
understand language, recognize faces and fingerprints, and access all the
world's knowledge via WiFi, cellular, and Bluetooth connections to the
internet. None of that technology existed in 1984 when Cyc was started, and
there was no way they could have implemented it even if they could have
imagined it.
