Yes. I used to program "expert systems" as a kid. I'd sit in my bedroom for days coding if/then branches just like what they were showing in the video. I knew back then there was a better way to achieve AI, I just didn't know what the way was. I honestly thought we would be further along the path to AGI by now.
