Yes.

And on top of it all, AI also means “conscious intelligence like ours but in a computer, which as far as we know only exists in science fiction” and I honestly think THAT should have a whole different name

(in the same way that an “artificial diamond” is anything from glass to moissanite that’s trying to look like a diamond but it does NOT include lab-grown diamonds that are physically the same as mined ones)
