AI for actual applications, where mistakes are costly, is becoming an idiot marker. As "crypto" for projects other than non-decentralized finance or "smart" contracts, has already become. FOMO is great on this though, so every major investor/consultant is no starting to to tell you to get shitcoin.

AGI could be ML driven, most likely it is not. Neuronal nets are still AI tech. Even Bayesian inference is weakly AI tech.

The public always misuses words. Words change to match that meaning.
