The term has been polluted for a long time before AI became well known. Just like "DevOps", "Platform Engineering", "Agile" etc... and like those terms it's not a specific thing (e.g. a specific license like "Apache 2.0", "MIT" etc...) but more a general term without qualification of scope. Do I like it? No. But not liking how people are going to continue using a term shouldn't detract from the importance of the intent.
At the end of the day - having LLM tech that has an open source _code_ base is what many people are talking about, the "data" that forms the model isn't always open source and while it would be nice if that was the case - is somewhat similar to open source software vs the data you run in it.
