Probably not, tbh. The issue with Cyc is that it required huge amounts of manual effort to create the rules, while LLMs can learn their own rules from raw data.

There was no machine intelligence in Cyc, just human intelligence.

Supervised vs. unsupervised, but LLMs haven't made any new discoveries on their own ... yet.

This can be rephrased for other "AI" projects with exactly the same relevance:

There is no machine intelligence in LLM bots, just human intelligence.

So more of an expert system?

Cyc was exactly an expert system (and those were exactly as central an "AI" technology as LLMs are today, a few rounds of AI hype ago.)

Very much so.
