    Language is fluid, and there is plenty of terminology that is dumb or imprecise to someone in the field, but A-ok to the wider populace. “Cloud” is also not actually a formation of water droplets, but someone’s else’s datacenter, but to some people the cloud is everything from Gmail to AWS.

    If I say AI today and most people associate the same thing with it (these days that usually means generative AI , i.e. mostly diffusion or transformer models) then that’s fine for me. Call it Plumbus for all I care.
