Fuzzy Logic, Fuzzy Ethics

&gt; Cyc still proved incapable of more demanding tasks, like digital image recognition, or more complex gameplay, like chess or Go.<p>As Cyc wasn&#x27;t designed to recognize objects in images, or play chess or go, it&#x27;s hardly surprising that it proved incapable of those tasks.

This article gets history approximately wrong. Yes, Cyc failed at its original goals, but it&#x27;s still going, kind of, and as far as I know was never intended for image recognition. Fuzzy logic isn&#x27;t used much in science because probability and statistics are the more usual ways to handle uncertainty.<p>Given its inaccuracy so far, I&#x27;m not sure the article is worth finishing?

I remember reading about fuzzy logic in a discrete math book. It was exactly the same as basic probability theory. I think the article is overblowing it a little...
