Literally Wittgenstein gets a zero. There’s even a set of seminar transcripts where he condescends to Alan Turing (Zettel, I think.)

Yeah I'm pretty upset about the inclusion of Wittgenstein here. There is literally no philosopher less interested in the question 'what underlies intelligent behavior'

BS. Wittgenstein understood that AI is the link between philosophy and math. Turing was Wittgenstein's pupil. Wittgenstein's Tractatus preempts the logicist program of AI by several decades, the Investigations describe its failure, years before Minsky and Church even start it.

PS you all, why doesn't Putnam get the win on this? Invents functionalism, then explains why it doesn't work.

Functionalism existed functionally long before Putnam, as did its denial. IMHO Putnam has thrown the field back. Dennett is a decent sideline commenter. Wittgenstein has had little direct reception within AI, but he was incredibly prescient. Carnap's contributions were solid.

Putnam made some really spot-on critique of functionalism but he was distracted until later years where he defended his liberal account of functionalism.

Either there is multi-level explanatory functionalism or functionalism is just early 20th century behaviorism.
