> The whole field has been referred to as AI for decades

Yea, everyone else has been laughing at you for this the whole time. It's a dumb term for anything but encouraging rubes to fork over cash for stuff that looks like magic.

> Referring to the things used here as AI is entirely consistent with how I've seen the term used dating back beyond when people would ask me if AI was to do with aliens. Simpler things have been called AI in the public sphere too, so it's not a new thing being sprung on people.

Maybe you should consider communicating more directly and effectively.

> I don't think people have generally been confused by a camera that says it has AI thinking it's sentient.

You should talk to more people. This is 100% a problem.

Almost nobody really knew about the field not that long ago.

I don't understand what you mean. People had seen the film AI and misremembered it having aliens in, and when I said my course was AI that's what they thought about.

I don't believe you that people generally believe that cameras and the like have been sentient for years.
