Brilliant!!!!!! One night Murray Gell-Mann was here for dinner, and said off-handedly, oh, physicists could solve artificial intelligence in no time if they just put their minds to it. I nearly went over the table at his throat. And he was my guest. AI has been the graveyard of more than one physicist, but they usually just slink away with their tail between their legs, and you never hear about it. Statisticians, otoh, have actually been a big help.
