I think you're entirely wrong about this. Using the term AI or artificial intelligence directly invokes several centuries of cultural baggage about golems, robots, Terminators, androids and cyborgs and Matrix-squid.

Saying "large language models" does not. Saying "giant correlation networks" does not. Not to be too Sapir-Whorfian, but the terminology we use influences our conversations: terrorists, guerillas, rebels, revolutionaries, freedom-fighters.

Should a nuclear power station rebrand itself to avoid being associated with Hiroshima? I really don't get what you are trying to say.

If you choose your words carelessly, you get unintended results.

Telling me about the AI in your HR system that hunts for the best candidates brings along the cultural context of stories about AI. Telling me about the rules engine that ranks incoming CVs does not.

"terrorists, guerillas, rebels, revolutionaries, freedom-fighters" are all the same group of people being referred to in different ways depending on how the speaker wants you to feel about them. Once you start using a particular word, you adopt the same viewpoint.

"AI" is too loaded with cultural contexts which will cause people to make mistakes.
