This really gets at one of my issues with the term "AI". There is a very scientific, textbook definition of what Artificial Intelligence is however, this term carries baggage from sci-fi.

Using a term like "AI" to describe this is like using a term "Food" to describe pickles. Poor analogy but "AI" is just so vast that most lay readers or those not familiar with this phrase in regular computer science discussions aren't grounded in the consequence.

I feel that we as an industry need to do better and use terms more responsibly and know our audience. There is a big difference between a clustering algorithm that detects pixels and flags them and a conscious, self-aware system. However both of those things are "AI" and both have very different consequences.
