Easy take: calling linear algebra “quantum physics” and “artificial intelligence” is hype. Deeper: the huge influx of physicists into AI has produced an intellectual monoculture that isn’t capable of addressing key problems in the field.https://twitter.com/WIRED/status/1181437300414275584 …
Most of the crankiest people I know about the culture of AI are physicists-turned-AI people. I doubt that's a reason for a monoculture; seems quite the reverse, they're usually the ones saying "hey, fiddling with hyperparameters is the wrong thing to be doing..."

Yes, and "let's look at the energy surface" leads to insights that vaguely-motivated tweaking can't. (Such tweaking being an approach CS-educated folks are liable to fall into.) But it doesn't lead to the insights that understanding mechanism-domain interactions can.

(IOU: I intended to follow up my "progress in AI" post with one discussing just this point. Maybe I'll get time somewhen in the next few months!)
