It’s worth remembering that there was AI before generative AI, and there are applications of AI that don’t produce slop, like knowledge graphs and natural language search. Some of that might be called just “machine learning” now.

Yeah, it seems like "AI" has mostly become a marketing term for generative large models. For the people doing the stuff that is often called "machine learning", I see two reactions. Those seeking hype will call it "AI" anyhow, and a bunch of those that don't are firmly sticking with "machine learning" to avoid the rising backlash.

I'm very curious to hear how others are seeing the terms used, though.
