>investors have become only interested in companies building generative AI, relegating those working on predictive models to “old school” AI.

If that is the definition of old school AI, I wonder how symbolic AI should be named.

It is not. Symbolic, deductive reasoning engines have the same claim to being old-school AI as predictive statistic models.

how about "useless with no successes of note" AI?

What ? We all use it everyday, it's just that as soon as the problem was solved with 'old AI', everyone forgot it was an AI problem.

I hope you've never used the power grid or parcel shipping, as those are heavily optimized using symbolic AI.
