Intelligence without representation

I think I found the culprit, at least one of the papers responsible for
this madness of doing
AI without KR
https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs331b/2016/presentations/paper17.pdf
I find the paper very interesting although I disagree

Do people know of other papers that purport a similar hypothesis (that KR
is not indispensable in AI for whatever reason?)
thanks a lot
