@inthehands That's a fair assessment and a thoughtful look at the language.
From my academic background in computer science, artificial intelligence traditionally relied on a more stringent definition than is being used in marketing materials being generated these days. I think most of my hostility to the term as popularly used today is that it is employed to sell "ooo shiny" junk to consumers, when that junk is not actually any better than the previous generation of junk.
