ITT: engineers disgusted that marketing uses different language to communicate product benefits to consumers.

See also: “posi-trac” (limited slip differential), “alleve” (2-(6-Methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)propanoic acid), Technicolor (usually to describe a 3-strip prismatic camera+film arrangement).

In general, consumers are marketing care about the benefits, and engineers care about the methods. Hence AI versus machine learning.

It’s nothing to get upset or disgusted about.
