It's state of the art AI. For 1975. Pretty routine today, used in
all sorts of stuff.
Obviously you aren't thinking what I am thinking. I have personal
experience with some AI code and I have read about a lot more, and I
know what the public state of the art generally is in 2008.
Admittedly, the theories don't seem a whole lot better than 1975, there
is just more computer power and storage available now.
So computers have been rewriting their own rules since 1975. Sure. But
not the rules for writing those rules, or the rules for the rules for
the rules, etc.
Humans can even decide not to play the game.
