What are your thoughts on neuro-symbolic integration (combining the pattern-recognition capabilities of neural networks with the reasoning and knowledge representation of symbolic AI) ?

Seems like the symbolic aspect is poorly defined and it’s too unclear to be useful. Always sounds cool, but what exactly are we talking about?

I’m not an AI expert, but from my armchair I might draw a comparison between functional (symbolic rule- and logic-based AI) and declarative (LLM) programming languages
