To suggest that computer science should be an important influence on AI is a bit like suggesting that woodworking should be an important influence on music, since most musical instruments are made out of wood.

Something of a jarring note in an otherwise interesting post (I'm at least curious to see the follow-up), in that you are a) reasoning by analogy and b) picking the wrong one: the usual story about music is that it begins with plucked strings and that the study of string resonance modes gave rise to the theories of tuning and harmony.
