I would argue we need to go back to Machine Learning.

The field is machine learning, generative machine learning etc.

This rebrand to AI is doing nothing but confusing people and building investor hype

Back? Machine Learning has always been a subfield of artificial intelligence since it all started in the 1950s or so. The end goal is to create general AI, and each field in AI is considered a piece of that puzzle, including LLMs.

Also fair.

I find the term machine learning more honest than artificial intelligence

It's more specific, sure, but there's nothing dishonest about using the same terminology that has been used for almost 100 years.

The disconnect is that average people have a different understanding of the term than is used in computer science, probably because of sci-fi films and whatnot. When I hear "AI," I think of the CS term, because that's my background, but when my family hears "AI," they think of androids and whatnot like in Bicentennial Man.

I don't know how to square that circle. Neither group here is wrong, but classifying something like ChatGPT as "AI," while correct, is misinterpreted by the public, who assume it's doing more than it is.
