Prolog totally missed the AI Boom

Inductive logic programming at 30
https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.10556
The paper contains not a single reference to autoencoders!
Still they show this example:
Fig. 1 ILP systems struggle with structured examples that
exhibit observational noise. All three examples clearly
spell the word "ILP", with some alterations: 3 noisy pixels,
shifted and elongated letters. If we would be to learn a
program that simply draws "ILP" in the middle of the picture,
without noisy pixels and elongated letters, that would
be a correct program.
I guess ILP is 30 years behind the AI boom. An early autoencoder
turned into transformer was already reported here (*):

Well ILP might have its merits, maybe we should not ask
for a marriage of LLM and Prolog, but Autoencoders and ILP.
But its tricky, I am still trying to decode the da Vinci code of
things like stacked tensors, are they related to k-literal clauses?
The paper I referenced is found in this excellent video:
