I think of a shot as an example, not a try: “One shot” is “One example”. Zero shot is “Zero examples”. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it, got a better word for it?

We already have a term for it in people, "intuited". When you are asked to intuit something, it usually implies an unfamiliarity with the subject matter.
There is such entrenchment with terms though, it'll never get shifted to that.. and on top of that, it doesn't sound as interesting and dynamic as "zero shotting".
to be fair, it's also pretty long winded to say "pass @ 32 attempts to intuit" or "intuited after 6 examples"
I mean... how about "example"? I feel as if I were to give what you just said to someone a hundred years ago, with no context of AI training or even of the discussion, the very form of what your response leads to the answer "example" ;P.
The issue with "shot" is that it is a term and part of an idiom that has been used for a very long time and, critically, is relevant to the same problem space in a much more intuitive way: to count the number of shots shot, not shots seen.
