This is a weird response, especially in this community and climate. AI implies the company is making use of the users data to perform some kind of additional analysis and decision making. This privacy is a key factor in my decision to use software as well the recommendations I make to my clients. If there is no AI/ML involved, they could simply answer, "it was the only domain name available." and everyone, absolutely everyone, on HN would laugh and move on.

That's pretty much what we said, along with 'we make no ai claims'. The HN community is not known for "laughing and moving on" - but that's what makes the community great. It's filled with pedantic, over-intellectualised debate, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

You (and others) are mind-reading the intention of the original poster, and making a stupid demand of him ("change your domain name!!"). You could also call this "nit-picking", and in real life, I would call this "bullying". Absolutely zero paying customers of his will be bothered or even think about "ai means machine learning blablahblah". I am being harsh with you and others because there are many many introverted engineers who read HN who let their inner voices second guess every single decision they make. Comments like yours and jonnys do absolutely nothing but add FUD to their process. If you have legitimate feedback about the product, by all means give it. But picking a silly thing to nitpick about (the TLD of the site!) is nonsense.

  Thanks for coming to our defence! In all honesty though, it's this kind of overly intellectualised, pedantic debate that makes HN what it is, and why we all love it. I would be disappointed if a Show HN didn't have at least one!

  I don't know what you;re talking about. I didn't make any such demand.

You're misinformed though... > .ai is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla. It is administered by the government of Anguilla.
