The term AGI was coined almost 30 years ago; is that when the marketers got ahold of it?

I would say IBM poisoned the well with the term AI. Watson was probably the biggest inflection point, but there was stuff earlier too.
I'm old enough to remember Deep Blue.
Obviously not but the community has shifted its language away from AI.

I did not claim we coined AGI in response to marketers.
