Totally agree. My slogan is that for AI to succeed it has to become an empirical science: it should use math, but only to the extent that the math is useful to describe reality. And it should be curiousity-driven and not application-driven like almost all modern research in computer vision and natural language processing.
I'm curious about how to not die (as an individual and a species). Would that count as curiosity or application drive? :P
