And in 2013 the key word for marketing was algorithm. The YouTube algorithm. The reddit algorithm. Etc.

That was true like 5 years ago, but now companies are just irresponsibly calling out to LLMs as a function without proper safe guards instead.

I've heard this talk where I work. Senior plebs describing things that are obviously algorithms as AI. And this of course means we had AI before it was cool.

Nothing new here. Buzzwords are the only thing senior managers can understand.
