Perhaps, but then the meaning of the word is in how it's used (something that, if more people truly understood, would cut the amount of dismissing LLMs as "bullshit machines" and "stochastic parrots" by half).

"Organic farming" may have initially been about sustainability, but the result correlated well enough with healthy food - and even more so with the naturalistic fallacy-fueled "healthy food" fad, that the latter application took over as it became a market niche. The niche being itself based more on a fallacy than reality is why "organic food" is such a bullshit fest it is - one product might be genuinely healthier, another is just worse and also ruins the land because it's sprayed with a nasty set of chemicals that are more "natural" than their strictly safer "modern" alternatives...



Marketing and greed do ruin everything they touch, yes.
