The entire English dictionary has evolved into its current state, and there's several words that used to have the opposite meaning just from stubborn ironic use by the masses. As much as I like to be correct about my use of words, I think AI has established itself as a term that will stick around for now.

Besides, I really don't think all the stigma comes from the term "artificial intelligence". You don't have to ever mention the term to a child interacting with Alexa, they will nevertheless greatly overestimate "her" ability. I think because of the anthropomorphic nature of their interactions, and the black box implementation that prevents you from knowing the boundaries of what is possible.

This something that video game characters have played on since their conception, to make humans imagine much more complex intents and thoughts behind their "stupid" hard coded behaviors. I'm okay with calling it AI even if it's not even close to on par with human intelligence. :)
