We are just taking "crypto" back to mean something useful. It was just a matter of some stupid people losing enough money.

I hope in a few years we can take "AI" back too.

"AI" will never shake the connotations science fiction has given it. The association is always going to skew towards positronic brains and Commander Data.

In the world of Actual Machines, "AI" is a term that should barely be tolerated in advertising departments, let alone anything remotely close to R&D

I still think AI has its place as a useful term in video games development
