Fuck AI

The “Artificial” part isn’t clue enough?

Imo, no. The face-value connotation of "Artificial Intelligence" is intelligence that's artificial. Actual intelligence, but not biologic. That's a lot different from "it kinda looks like intelligence so long as you don't look too hard at what's beneath the hood".

Thus far, examples of that only exist in sci-fi. That's part of why people are opposed to the bullshit generators marketed as "AI", because calling it "AI" in the first place is dishonest. And that goes way back - videogame NPCs, Microsoft 'Clippy' etc have all been incorrectly branded "AI" in marketing or casual conversation for decades, but those aren't stuffed into every product the way the current iteration is watering down the quality of what's on the market, so outside of a mild pedantic annoyance, no one really gave a shit.

Nowadays the stakes are higher since it's having an actual negative impact on people's lives.

If we ever come up with true AI - actual intelligence that's artificial - it's going to be a game changer for humanity, for better or worse.
