> I think you're demonstrating the issue by focusing on the name again: "AI" and "Machine Learning" are the same thing. Engineers care about the method, so ML is more appropriate; it describes what they are doing. Consumers care about outcomes, so "AI" is used because it's familiar.

So how is "AI" an outcome benefitting me as customer?

From an old fortune message:

    Q: "So, why did you get into Artificial Intelligence?"
    A: "It made sense: I didn't have any real intelligence."
Sums up the benefit nicely.
