Its frustrating when people assume any reference to AI means AGI or strong AI.

It's not their fault really. Tv and movies, especially ones like the matrix, AI and Irobot call AGI, AI.

Doesn't make it any less frustrating, but also distinguishes the people in it versus those who aren't.

I'm not so sure anyone was using the term AGI when the first Matrix movie came out. Anyway, you cannot expect Hollywood to always use the precisely correct term for things scientific without first pushing up your glasses.
