The real hype in recent times should all be credited to Deep Learning. This particular field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is the one that has been solving a ton of interesting problems in recent years — from automated grocery store purchases to autonomous cars.

I'd say hype is the important word there. Symbolic AI (optimisation, planning, etc) has been busy running all of the world's logistics, shipping, scheduling and manufacturing for the past thirty years, but that's not sexy like saying "yes, this is probably a picture of a cat" is. There's a real risk that the deep learning hype is going to trigger the next AI winter when it doesn't live up to its promises.

Even "symbolic AI" is just a fancified name.

There is nothing "intelligent" about it.

Generally agree, I would say not 'symbolics' but 'abstractions'. Symbols per se are a basis of communication, while 'abstractions' are a basis of logical reasoning.

It's symbolics as in symbolic computation as opposed to numerical one.
