Re: AI = Marketing = Lying
"But if even the Reg simply won't be bothered to call out this brazen misuse of the term"
Holy balls, we just published hundreds of words calling out DM's approach - and we're still the bad guys. We use "AI" as shorthand for various related technologies just as "the cloud" covers IaaS, PasS, SaaS, etc. The exact tech is defined, AI is used to avoid repeating the same phrase over and over. We're not a dry technical manual.
You may have noticed we bounce between terms – IBM, Big Blue, Intel, Chipzilla, Microsoft, Redmond, crypto-currency, digi-dosh, etc – because it's more interesting to read, easier on the eye and mind, and still conveys overall the same message.
Trust me, trust us, after decades of writing and publishing, combined as a team, an article with the same terms repeated over and over and over and over stops being engaging – and becomes bland documentation.
