This picture being generated aside, do people just call all automation "AI" now because they can't tell the difference?

    Sadly yes.

    Lots of basic algorithms are now called AI

    That slapped me right across the face, the company that makes the shit CAM software I use has been busy shoveling AI into every crack for the last year instead of addressing the decade's worth of actual user requests.

    I hate everything about it.

    Yes? Anything electronic is AI. Just like electricity used to be basically magic to people.

    Human kind loves to blame things they don't understand for 10x longer than it would take to learn about it.

    Electricity is basically magic. It only seems mundane because we take it for granted. If sorcery, the force, investiture, or any other fictional magic system you could think of were real, we'd harness it, get used to it, and stop thinking of them as magic too.

    Dont let familiarity diminish the sense of wonder. Understanding doesn't make electricity less magical, it just makes you a wizard.
