That's an interesting perspective. In the interest of full disclosure, one of the authors (Stephen Muggleton) is my thesis advisor. I've also met Ross King a few times.

Can you elaborate? Why is it a "bunch of hooey"?

And btw, what do you mean by "overhyped"? Most people on HN haven't even heard of "Adam", or "Eve" (the sequel). I only knew about them because I'm the PhD student of one of the authors. We are in a thread about an open letter urging companies to stop working towards AGI, essentially. In what sense is the poor, forgotten robot scientist "overhyped", compared to that?
