A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

AI has been a vague term for decades. It has always been the name for that hard-to-define set of algorithms and techniques that mimic certain aspects of the way thinking is believed to work. It's not some marketing thing. It's that scientists and engineers really do believe that they've figured out some cool technique that is finally going to result in a thinking machine. But, over time they come to realize that it's a useful tool for something (say computer vision) but isn't the key thing that will deliver a brain in a box.
There's a textbook that used to be the definitive textbook for this sort of thing. It covered searching algorithms, artificial neural networks, deep learning, etc. It was first published in 1995. So, that's 3 decades of "here are some useful algorithms that we collectively categorize as AI-related".
