I like how you stole my comment and I’m downvoted.

I think you're getting downvoted because in this thread you're coming off as an angry gatekeeper type, and internet forums tend to hate that. I'm not saying you're an actual angry gatekeeper; however, that's the vibe.

There's a lot of things in language use that annoys the crap out of me, too. I could write a long boring list of egg-corns, and words that people commonly misspell or mispronounce that really trigger me. But if I did, some dude with a PhD in linguistics would tut-tut me and tell me not to be so prescriptivist (or whatever).

Anyway, my point is, I think you're right about the "old people" misuse of AI as an umbrella term. But, also be open to the common opinion that people who police language are often seen as cranky old cranks, too.
