Me:
i'm planning to use classical ai for my bot and someone said this to me can you explain what he means? Hey buddy, you never heard of combinatorial explosion? Why do you think that the rules based systems lost steam and research funding?
chatgpt:
In the 1980s, researchers tried to make “expert systems” — giant networks of human-written rules (like your “if A and B then do C” structure).
They worked OK in small, predictable domains, but:
They couldn’t scale up to handle all the messy, nuanced, unpredictable combinations that appear in the real world.
Adding one more rule could unexpectedly break another rule’s logic chain.
Maintaining and expanding the rulebase became nearly impossible.
If you tell me a bit about how your rule system is structured (e.g. how it makes decisions or stores knowledge), I can explain whether or not combinatorial explosion will actually be a threat for your design
me:
it stores knowledge in txt files which are in a folder structure that is categorical and heirarchically organized so the knowledge txts are many and spread out in these folders. its actions or things affecting its decisions like decision trees are also spread out int eh same way
