By that reasoning "Chemistry" is just a marketing term. It was used mostly interchangeably with "Alchemy" until Georg Stahl and others began writing (without justification!) that "Chemistry" describes more a more rational science and "Alchemists" were more interested in wealth. These untrue claims still became a self-fulfilling prophecy, where theories, teachings, and practice of chemistry evolved out of the former ways of thinking to become what we know it as today. AI, as used today, is certainly a coherent concept, and this article has justified and described it more thoroughly than most concepts I use daily. Who cares about the shaky history if it means something real today?
