I was thinking recently about how we stopped using the word NFT (while continuing to use the same tools), and today of course, we have another overused word that is starting to lose its meaning.
On my recent trip to China, I was a bit shocked to see this familiar word on every second billboard. These were the only symbols I could understand, not knowing Chinese, and they were looking at me from every corner.
As with all bubbles, this word will probably soon become tired, acquire a bad reputation, and we'll start calling it something else. Especially given that the word itself is fairly meaningless: from its first use at the 1956 Dartmouth Conference, to the multilayer perceptron, which has little in common with modern transformer-based architectures, to chatbots, to data science and simple correlation.
Do you see any change in vocabulary when talking about AI, and have you perhaps started replacing the word AI with other words when you speak?
