Well, that's the issue at the heart of it I think.
How much should we cater our choice of words to those who know the least?

I'm not an academic, and I don't work with AI, but I do work with computers and I know the distinction between AI and general AI.

I have a little irritation at the theme, given I work in the security industry and it's now difficult to use the more common abbreviation for cryptography without getting Bitcoin mixed up in everything.

All that aside, the point is that people talking about how it's not "real AI" often come across as people who don't know what they're talking about, which was the point of the image.
