You missed my claim:

> Machine Learning was NOWHERE NEAR as overused as AI in user-facing communication.

I never said it was as overused. I said we levied the same criticisms (buzz word, implementation detail, bad fit)

Im surprised people dont remember this. Here are some examples:

- Blind post from 2018 stating machine learning is a buzz word with lots of agreement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27149532

Note that I am NOT arguing ML is useless. It's not useless. I'm saying people made these same criticisms they make against AI: buzz word, implementation detail, often unnecessary.

It's funny to me that people forget this. I agree the AI buzz is more pervasive. But thats a difference in degree and not kind.
