You can not separate early research in artificial Intelligence and information processing theory. that guided comprehension and memory research in the 1960s and 1970s.

The debate folks had then on if all information is quantifiable and known or situated within context is the same debate folks have today over AI hallucinations

And research into artificial intelligence is not new. It is just the processing power has finally caught up to theory.
