    I has, but it also has meant a computer “making decisions” for decades as well. I would know, I’ve been using it that way for 20 years, especially in the gaming space. Playing against bots that even remotely feel like a person is playing has been “playing against the AI”

    Don’t get me wrong, I agree that the marketing being done today is pretty aggregious, and the folks doing it are 100% being manipulative by using the term “AI” in their marketing, but I don’t think they’ve used the term beyond a meaning it has already had for a long time.
