My hunch is that the more apt analogy is to Skinnerian Behaviorists, or apostles of the Hilbert Program. Deep learning is a very a powerful tool, and the current zeal for it has yielded rapid progress in previously stagnating fields. That said, we have yet to see what its limits are in this space; it's still too young to know. It may be that, like in so many cases beforehand, synthesis is the path forward, and there are no silver bullets.
