I think Norvig is a smart person, I enjoy his books, papers and jupyter notebooks, but I always thought he was pretty clueless regarding AI, as history indeed demonstrated. That's not an ad hominem.
What is shameful was the extreme shunning of the mainstream scientific community to ANNs, in 90's-00's decades, to the point that it was considered career suicide to publish a ANN paper. I believe Yann LeCun has said similar things in the past[0], reminiscing the time when it took him several years(!) to get an ANN paper accepted for publication.
