AI now is like Cyber was in the 1990s it's seems to be nothing but a buzzword for many organizations to throw around.

The term AI is used as if humanity now has figured out general AI or artificial general intelligence (AGI). It's quite obvious organizations and people use the term AI to fool the less tech inclined into thinking it's AGI - a real thinking machine.

Remember 5-ish years ago when IBM's marketing department was hawking their machine learning and information retrieval products as AI, and everyone in the world rolled their eyes so hard we had to add another leap second to the calendar to account for the the resulting change in the earth's rotation?

I suppose their only real sin was business suits. Everything seems more credible if you say it while wearing a hoodie.

Cyber is still happens to be a buzzword, it just shifted meaning to the defense sector.

Has been like that for quite a while, it has up and lows with the 90s marking a winter season for AI, and now the hype machine is on full steam again, until people find out again a lot of it is marketing BS to get funding. Then the research that is worthwhile gets mixed up with that, go into a lack of funding and in 30 years or so it's back on full hype again.

Call it Al, and only hire Alans, Alberts, Alphonses, Alis, etc
