Have multiple views on the world often helps us understand. That was beauty of the early ML community a broad mix of views. Of course it’s unsurprising that when one method is successful people double down on it.

That’s helpful because GPs are mathematically much simpler than NNs (but algorithmically more complex for large data).

Gaussian Processes Explain Modern Neural Networks Generalization Behavior
By
–
GPs also give insights on why modern (very large) NNs behave like they do e.g the reason they generalise seems closer to non parametric approaches like GPs than traditional NN generalisation understanding from 1990s.
