Many people are annoyed by the recent influx of calling everything "AI".
Machine learning, statistical models, procedural generation, literally an usage of heuristics are all being called "AI" nowadays which obfuscates the "boring" nature in favor of "exciting buzzword"
Selecting the quality of a video based on your download speed? That's "AI" now.
On the other hand, it means that you can assume anything mentioning AI is overhyped and probably isn't as great as they claim. That can be slightly useful at times.
So are compilers and interpreters. The terminology changes, but since we still don't have a general, systematic, and precise definition of what "intelligence" means, the term AI is and always was ill-founded and a buzzword for investors. Sometimes, people get disillusioned, and that's how you get AI winters.
