   Okay, and the old joke was:

   If I'm pitching to academia or marketing, it's AI.
   If I'm pitching to a company exec it's ML.
   If I'm actually writing it then it is logistic regression.

   AI has gone through iterations on how "cool" it is, but a lot of things start out as "AI" and then get classified as something else. A lot of it rooted in academia. I have an article I saved somewhere that goes into how "AI" can replace our jobs.

   They are talking about expert systems, which most people would barely even consider "AI" today, but _were_ solidly considered AI at the time.

   Like, roll your eyes at it, sure. But it _isn't the same criticism_ as using generative AI, or using stolen data, or whatever else. Conflating the criticisms does no one any favors.
