Dennis Overbye recently had a similar NY Times article. It claims that "in 10
years, machine-learning will be as essential to doing physics as knowing math".
What do you think?

Chris Anderson, the editor in chief of Wired, asks if a computer can find a
theory of everything merely by learning from data. Unfortunately most deep
learning models are like a black box which delivers good results but is hard to
understand. Would a theory of everything be a theory of nothing? It reminds me
of Russell Standish's book "theory of
nothing".https://www.wired.com/2008/06/pb-theory/-J.
