The same way they convinced everyone that they should say "cloud" instead of 'on our servers."

They stopped saying "algorithm" and started saying "AI"

Once it's used as a marketing term, the technical term loses all meaning in conversational language.

If it's in your server it's not in "the cloud", the cloud is code for "someone else's server."

I was thinking more from the marketing perspective " We keep your data on our servers!" verses "We keep your data in the cloud!" since the point was that the marketers of these things in particular are fucking up the terminology.

If you are already in possession of a server then you're probably aware it's not a cloud.

"cloud" really means "several servers in parallel for redundancy" at which point it is kinda useful
