I only hated one sentence, when he admitted that he started a talk at a conference, once, by saying that language is too important to be left to linguists. as a linguist, I’d say that he is unfortunately referring to a small subgroup of normative descriptive linguists, probably, and that many computational linguists, machine learning people, neurolinguists, cognitive linguists as well as theoretical linguists are badly needed in deep learning and related disciplines, cause engineers simply do not know how language works. so, cross disciplinary approaches are the right way to go.
