Alt Text: an image of Agent Smith from The Matrix with the following text superimposed, "1999 was described as being the peak of human civilization in 'The Matrix' and I laughed because that obviously wouldn't age well and then the next 25 years happened and I realized that yeah maybe the machines had a point."

You're confusing AI and AGI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

While this can be a valuable clarification, it ignores the plain use history of the term AI, and demands that language change for our convenience.

Laypeople have always used "AI" to mean what scientists call "AGI".

Language is weird, and tech bros suck.
