All of AI's successes get re-branded as not-AI. Quadcopters were AI when I was in school a few decades ago. Image recognition/classification was AI. Recommendation algorithms were AI. Voice recognition was AI. Smart speakers were AI.
I fully expect generative AI to get rebranded as something else once it becomes useful someday. AI is just a catch-all term for math that looks like magic.
