Unlike most people it seems, I like all the progress in AI but I really do wish they would reign in the over-the-top marketing. I mean, can we just get this stuff to the point where I can reliably work with it to design a well-architected software project without having to constantly struggle against bloat and nonsense directions no experienced or sane developer would ever take.
fyi: argon is an interesting choice of name, coming from the Greek argos meaning "lazy or living w/out labor".

I think in this case it’s from the element argon
Yes probably but that's still from Greek (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon#History)
the etymology can be broken down even more, its the prefix a - meaning without, opposite, no. and ergon, meaning work, visible in words like ergonomics, or the ergosphere
