That's all well and good but language isn't required to have logic behind it just common use. There's absolutely nothing any of us can do about it either way because if we disagree we're already in the minority
And it's fine to call out when common usage of language has obfuscated actual meaning. It may be useful to some.
Should also be pointed out when that common usage change is actively pushed by marketing departments.
These people are selling a product. Of course they would encourage people to think it's actual AI.
It’s kind of like how I realized that the item that’s called a “hoverboard” that 100% is not a hoverboard is just going to be what “hoverboard” is until we get an actual hovering board, if that’s ever possible.
I'll never not be salty that I was born too early for hoverboards, flying cars, and star trek. :(
