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 …

Not sure I follow; what is the relevant difference between this formulation and what I said? I was suggesting that physicists mostly only draw on methods and analogies from physics, and (useful as those are) they aren't able to address many of the key problems in AI.
Oh, that's not how I interpreted your tweet at all. It read (to me) as you asserting that the monoculture in AI is due to physicists. I guess not!

Well, the monoculture is one of using methods from physics (plus numerical analysis for implementation). I'm not blaming physicists as individuals. Rather suggesting that progress in AI can only come from drawing on ideas from many fields:https://meaningness.com/metablog/artificial-intelligence-progress …

As far as I can see, ideas from physics have had only a small impact on AI. Stochastic gradient descent and backprop and ad hoc regularization are the dominant ideas today. None comes from physics.
