1. Prolog’s enduring relevance and the nostalgia for “expert‑system” logic
“We recently installed Gateway multi‑media kits… a simple expert system could have helped to resolve those IRQ conflicts.” – vintagedave
“I remember when so‑called ‘expert systems’ written in Prolog or LISP were supposed to replace doctors.” – copx
“Prolog was doing chain‑of‑thought reasoning 30 years before LLMs made it cool.” – dirtytoken7
2. A skeptical view of modern LLMs versus logic‑based AI
“LLMs are error‑prone by design… they will hallucinate… all the money in the world is thrown at people who preach LLMs will eventually be able to do every human job.” – copx
“The second AI winter cannot come soon enough.” – copx
“LLMs don’t really do chained reasoning.” – mcswell
3. Practical integration of Prolog with contemporary systems
“I started using Prolog in my self‑written home automation system… I replaced the C++ parts with Java, but the Prolog is pretty nice the way I can now specify predicates for MQTT topic paths.” – sprior
“I often wonder what a Prolog implemented as an Objective‑C like extension to C would look like.” – HexDecOctBin
“People are using Prolog with LLMs.” – rramadass
These threads collectively highlight Prolog’s historical legacy, the critique of current AI hype, and real‑world use cases that blend logic programming with modern tooling.
