Anyone's productivity can be measured, or at least what's left of that productivity after measuring. You may know nothing about how musicians make music, but you can measure superficial traits, such as the number of distinct notes

ML is a discipline, like engineering, and AI is a product with certain characteristics, like a spaceship. Our engineering isn't good enough yet to build a spaceship.

in plain language: they've made a statistical model that predicts curie temperature based on a few data points; the researchers justly called it ML, the hype hunrgy copywriters called it AI (it helps to lie a little to get more clicks

An electron may localise in any of the points as described by the wave equation, but it may also exist in its non local form. It may also transform into something else, like a photon, or vanish entirely by giving a bit of kinetic energy to

Contents of the nucleus is the same level of mystery as contents of a black hole: we know the basic bulk properties, we know what happens when it collides with various particles, but what's going on inside is a matter of speculation.
