> I'm kinda worried AI will get a scam/shitty product connotation.

Which has happened before. The original semantic/heuristic AI, most notably expert systems, over-promised and ultimately under-delivered. This led directly to the so-called "AI winter" which lasted more than two decades and didn't end until quite recently. It's a very real concern, especially among people who want to push the technology forward and not just profit from it.
