Tech enthusiast here, not opposed to AI myself, but definitely being forced into using and the fact that is had been a buzzword, commonly being most-used or intentionally to mislead, such as companies slapping the word "AI" on their products to maybe the mindless followers buy because it says two special letters.
The word "AI" in my honest opinion has lost its value to me.
Let's unpack it. "AI" means "Artificial Intelligence". What does "Artificial" mean? We can mostly agree it means human-made. (It gets a bit complicated, but this definition works.) What does "Intelligence" mean?
...
Oops.
There is no universally agreed definition of "intelligence" anywhere. There's no agreed definition in philosophy, in biology, in neuroscience, in any realm of human study. There's not even a hint as to where we'd go to get such a definition. Yet techbrodudes claim to have made an artificial version of it.
"I've made something great: Artificial Geflurtzenshi."
"What's Geflurtzenshi?"
"That doesn't matter. I made it! Give me money!"
