The classic turning point on this was when AI critic Hubert Dreyfuss, who'd written a paper titled "Why Computers Can't Play Chess", visited MIT and played their MacHackIV program (years prior to Apple monopolizing the "Mac" prefix for computer things). And lost badly.

MIT folk promptly wrote an underground, never officially published, tech report titled "Why Dreyfuss Can't Play Chess".
