I never liked the term AI but it stuck and if you use vector databases, LLMs, speech models, and all the more accurate terminology then nobody knows wtf you are talking about.
If you say ”AI” they immediately go, “oh you mean like ChatGPT?”

IMO its ok to say AI in terms of technology that detects persons face on iphone, or places in warcraft against you or whatever
However if you want to seriously talk about Artificial Intelligent capabilities and its impact on human life and you know all those words - then its your responsibility to explain your readers/listeners there is no artificial intelligence in existence and even on the horizon (even if you believe that it somehow can change the game). If you don’t do this and just say “AI will help people to defeat govts” you use the same manipulation tactics that are used by everyone who wants hype on social media
