Points to make: BCS observation Phase 1: 1960--1970s: AI -> CogSci trajectory from basing AI on what's understood in Psych/Ling/Anthro/Socio etc. and developing computational implementable approaches to understanding e.g. human language. HMMs Phase 2, Late 1970s-early 20th: Evidence-based, but with relatively little evidence by today's standards: a few millions of words of written (American) English, a few 10s of hours of spoken, simple probabilistic models, _no_ reference to human process. ANNs. Phase 3, 2010s to 2023: Step-change in the size (of data, of models, of compute power) and in the complexity of the architecture (LLMs) and the underlying mathematics. Apothesis: Release of ChatGPT in April 2023 (?). But one thing hasn't changed: it's all about the _form_ of the data, not the substance (BCS).
