In popular discussion, Deep Learning has unfortunately become synonymous with Machine Learning, which also, as of late, has itself become synonymous with AI.

Now, this might sound facetious, but to help avert another AI winter (maybe 10 years down the road), we need to be loud and vocal, educating at the very least the investing strata of society as to hyponymy/hypernymy relationships between these terms.

It is bound to happen when researchers uses words like "Machine" and "Learning" to describe their field. Why not use words that actually describe it, like function approximation.

Because you could say learning is function approximation for the public.
