Reads like an advert
editI marked this article with the Advert template because I think it violates the NPOV and encyclopedic style. Some illustrative quotes:
"The need for a massive symbolic artificial intelligence project of this kind was born in the early 1980s."
"There have been over a hundred successful applications of Cyc"
"It is based on the experience that we often have thought we understood something, but only really understood it after we had to explain or teach it to someone else."
Despite the name, the whole "Criticisms" section is somewhat positive towards Cyc.
This seems to be mostly due to a single user who added large amounts of promotional-sounding edits both to this page and the page for Douglas Lenat in 2017. Brambleboy (talk) 05:02, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
