@celesteh@hachyderm.io "AI" has never been a descriptive word, it's only ever been a catch-all term used by sci-fi authors (a bit like saying "FTL drive" or "sensors") and, starting in the 70s or 80s, marketers. It's sole purpose is to obscure what is being referenced, useful in fiction so you don't actually have to come up with such details, also useful in marketing so you don't have to tell people what's in a "meat" sausage.
