The answers aren't usually technically wrong: they're linguistically and logically valid; but the public's expectations of what the model is supposed to be doing doesn't match what it does.

People get confused because they associate language with intelligence, or maybe they are just not technically literate. I don't think we should abandon correctly used terminology because laymen did not catch up to it yet.

(I'd also argue that the conventional definitions of artificiality and intelligence vastly predate the technical definitions of AI. The terminology was always aspirational. Sort of like autopilot.)
