Except it is a fairly good artifice of grass.

Good for what? Looking at? It's not gonna satisfy a goat.

We only care for the look ("the output"), and we don't expect more of it, or sell it for more than it is. That's why it's not a controversial term for astroturf. It wasn't controversial for AI either until very recently. In 60 years of AI nobody has split hairs over output of intelligence. It's justified but weirdly misdirected anger.

AI is a perfectly cromulent word for the thing.
