Abstract
AbstractArtificial Intelligence, both as a hope of making substantial progress, and a fear of the unknown and unimaginable, has its roots in human dreams. These dreams are materialized by means of rational intellectual efforts. We see the beginnings of such a process in Lullus’s fancies. Many scholars and enthusiasts participated in the development of Lullus’s art,ars combinatoria. Amongst them, Athanasius Kircher distinguished himself. Gottfried Leibniz ended the period in which the idea of artificial intelligence was shaped, and started the new period, in which artificial intelligence could be considered part of science, by today’s standards.

Summary
The following text was written by a man and not by a machine. Some pioneers of artificial intelligence predicted that in the 21st century machines would be “thinking.” February 2019 OpenAI reported on the creation of the GPT-2 algorithm, which can write competent, reasonable essays. AI creators would be in this long tradition, covering everything from the time of the appearance of the Decalogue, whose first commandment prohibiting the creation of idols – you will not have other gods before me – to homunculus [14], Paracelsus (1493/4 – 1541), Golem created by Yehudah Loew ben Bezalel “Maharal” (1512/1526 – 1609) born in Poznań, Rabbi of Prague [95] and Frankenstein [27] invented by Mary Shelley (1818) This only points to the possible motives of those who dreamed of creating or created artificial intelligence in one form or another. They are present in all human activity, and in particular in creative and scientific activity This consideration will be devoted to the idea of artificial intelligence and the formation of what provided a cognitive basis for scientific research or, possibly, of what is genetic to this research. We will skip – if this does not involve the cognitive aspect in which we consider AI – the various implementations starting with the mythical products of Hefajstos, the walking lion Leonardo da Vinci [9] and others
