You make a fair point! To me thought, it had some meaning and value at some point. Artificial Intelligence, makes me think about a specially coded algorithm that has the ability to "learn", or dynamically take on new tasks based on information is given or even create new, similar tasks based on the type of job.

I recognize the term "Artificial Intelligence" from my own profession: marketing.

"Madlibs backed by a huge database" doesn't sound really all that attractive.
"Bullshitting random text generator" doesn't sound really sellable.
"Artificial intelligence..." BINGO!

(Substitute any old attempts at making AI for the first two. This is an old, old, old scam. The first complete and utter failure of "AI" happened when I was a young girl.)
