I understand the frustration, but a lot of Geoff Hinton's foundational work was based on physics principles. For example https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/1993/file/9e3cfc48eccf8...

Information theory, which is foundational to computing, has some mathematical similarities to statistical mechanics. That doesn't make it physics.
