I'm thinking of cases such as colleagues selling as "ML" something they were then forced to admit as "we use SQL to pick out instances of this specific behaviour we knew was happening". Embarrassing all round.

As folks that work in tech we can tell the difference between stuff that's got some form of depth to it in "proper" AI: ML, DL, AGI as you suggest, vs the over-hyped basic computation stuff. And the selling of the latter as the former can rankle.
