Ask HN: Is classical AI research still being done because it helps modern AI?
That is, classical AI has turned into tools to be used by LLMs as the need arises?
So classical AI research is still continuing?

But there's people like Yann LeCun that are exploring other architectures. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Bishop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Bishop
