AI terminology
I've been using “AI”, with quotes, a bunch on this website. I feel the industry is calling things artificially intelligent way beyond the scope of what that (admittedly hard to define) phrase actually means. That makes criticial analysis harder… that's good for marketeers, not so much for others.

We need an agreed term for this class of technology, in order to have conversations about it. I think it’s time to accept that “AI” is good enough, and is already widely understood.
