I've heard that the the (in)famous anti-AI Herbert Dreyfus gave an interview to the French journal ``Le Monde de l'Education'', which was published in the May 85 issue. In it he claims that the realization of AI would take 3000 years. Has someone a copy of that interview? I would be glad to get it.

In response to my question asked at a recent talk of his at the nearby DePauw University, "connectionism" (a la Hinton, Hofstadter) is great and worthwile. Dreyfus means by "AI" Simonesque physical symbol pushing. I think that 3000 years was too generous on his part. Perhaps he was just being charming. -- Marek Lugowski Indiana University CS Dept Bloomington, Indiana 47405
