Btw, just to be a bit more constructive (not by much) the proper term for what DeepMind did is "neuro-symbolic AI". But DeepMind shunned the term even for AlphaGO, a system comprised of a couple of neural nets and Monte-Carlo Tree Search.

The whole thing is just political: DeepMind use neural nets, GOFAI is dead and that's the way to AI. That's their story and they're sticking with it.
