To suggest that computer science should be an important influence on AI is a bit like suggesting that woodworking should be an important influence on music, since most musical instruments are made out of wood.
Something of a jarring note in an otherwise interesting post (I’m at least curious to see the follow-up), in that you are a) reasoning by analogy and b) picking the wrong one: the usual story about music is that it begins with plucked strings and that the study of string resonance modes gave rise to the theories of tuning and harmony.
in that you are a) reasoning by analogy and b) picking the wrong one:
I have separate reasons for believing that CS is a bad influence (the analogy is an illustration, not an argument). Basically, CS is a mix of theory and engineering with very little empirical science mixed in.
