I had very similar thoughts recently. Really glad someone took time to express them properly. Even on this very website... I feel there is an immense bias in favor of anything "deep" and "neural" when it comes to AI. Can't recall any recent AI papers that made it to the front page without having those two words in the title. And please, don't tell me there is nothing interesting going on in the field outside of deep learning. Even when an approach doesn't beat SOTA in terms of error rates, it can still contain valuable ideas or have interesting properties.
