Got a citation for that? Or is that just your definition? As soon as we understand a problem there are better terms that are actually meaningful.

It's a variation of a famous John McCarthy quote: "“As soon as it works, no one calls it AI any more.”

It's not meant to be a serious definition but IMO the phenomena is very real.

That resonates with me; thank you.

I still think it's a bullshit marketing term.
