I also dislike the term serverless. It's confusing, doesn't relay the information it should. I can't suggest a good replacement, but it's painfully obvious that even here, most people commenting don't actually know what serverless means and what its implications are.

Serverless really is an auto-scalable distributed infrastructure, perfect for small CPU-intensive tasks in an app which doesn't know how many CPUs it'll need at any one time.
