The Gaussian Processes underpinning this work are hardly a product of the 'AI Hype Machine' - they've been around for decades, have strong statistical underpinnings, and are being widely explored for experimental design across many disciplines. Reflexive and poorly-informed backlash to any variety of machine learning is no more productive than blindly hyping up LLMs.
