Very fair takes. I could certainly imagine elements being pulled in. For example things like alpha zero are to my understanding already coupling things like tree searches to neural nets. I sort of expect that any general solution would include some of that, but symbolic approaches seem to consistently do worse despite lots of people thinking they won't and plenty of money to be made. I think part of the problem is that what we want with AI is to interface with humans, and humans are using something fuzzy to understand the world so trying to model that rigidly will be hard
