I've thought about this somewhat and I'm inclined to agree. The crux of the issue with the general public is people think of it as being 'intelligence' in the sentient human sense and take 'artificial' to mean a computer. So a sentient intelligent computer. Whereas really artificial is referring to the simulation (of intelligence), especially when it comes to something like machine learning.
