FWIW, while I don't know the origin of this term, I learned it first as a noun, used in the context of AI - the old-fashioned AI, as applied to game development, some 15 years ago. The verb form, however, is something I've only noticed people using in the last few months; it's possible this is due to some recent events that made the term more widely known / popular.
