The term "AI" is only ~60 years old and less in the public awareness. There's a chance of it's public connotations being overloaded by the success of scammers transitioning from "crypto". It's yet another hot market selling things that most people don't and won't understand so the same tricks apply. When people hear about "crypto" now they think of the highly public scams (effective pre-mines, nft, "stable" coins, etc) instead bitcoin.
