Is there any evidence that lisp actually is better than other languages at artificial intelligence?

I asked this question on SO but it was closed fairly promptly (within 3 minutes) because it was too subjective. I then thought to ask it here on Programmers, a site for "subjective questions on software development".

Quoting from the original question:

There seems to be a long-held belief (mainly by non-lispers) that lisp is only good for developing AI.

Where did this belief originate? And is there any basis in fact to it?

Lisp obviously is an advantage for the AI stuff but it doesn't appear to me that Lisp is any faster than Java, C#, or even C. I am not a master of Lisp, but I find it incredibly difficult to understand the advantage one would get in writing Business Software in Lisp. Yet it is considered as a hacker's… >>> More
