Writing an expert system was a high school assignment decades ago.
Why would it work now after 60 years of not working?
Experts haven't changed.
The software is simple.
Creating expert systems are easy in a child's head, that's why it's a good school assignment, they get to see how quickly it gets out of hand. It's the same as the Semantic Web.
Just making a cake is too hard, why is that not online if expert systems are possible?
Substituting butter for vegetable oil, how much, what sort of vegetable oil, does that work for all cakes? Is it 10% worse as a cake. Do some culture actually like it better one way. Do kids care. Moist or dry matter. How do you translate measurements to stop getting silly results for empirical to metric.
This article and webcast doesn't actually say there exists a working expert system. It will stay that way.
Search is what has filled this gap. Maybe someday it will be AI (Outside of the AI in search)
