Just do not use AI for anything except LLMs anymore. Same way that crypto scam has taken the word crypto.

crypto must now be named cryptography and AI must now be named ML to avoid giving the scammers and hypers good press.

> AI must now be named ML

You just made a lot of 20th century AI researchers cry.

Ocaml users too. And Haskell.
Yep. I dislike it just as much as ceding crypto, but at the end of the day language changes, and clarity matters.

I think image and video generation that aren't based on LLMs can also use the term AI without causing confusion.
