Not a physicist. I suppose you could call Yudkowsky an anti-AI activist. And/or world-famous fan-fiction author. These would be strange but technically accurate ways to describe him.

I'd describe him as a person who doesn't know how potatoes work.

I was on a lecture about machine learning and AI a few years back and I asked the guy whether he thinks Yudkowsky is a genius or batshit crazy. The answer was "yes".
