You can just use a word that other use in order to be understood by them, not to signal anything.

It’s ideological in that it’s generally used by people that are anti-AI, or are trying to call out some perceived problem with AI.

In my experience, as I alluded to, it’s not commonly used by people who are thinking seriously for themselves about the benefits, risks, and consequences of AI and the economic activity surrounding it.
