    AI is the hot term, so everyone is using that, even for a lot of things that are actually ML.

    Apple used to exclusively say ML for a ton of things they do in iOS, but they caved and are mostly focusing on where they can say AI now. ML never caught on as a marketing buzz word with the public.

    Cal Newport recently made a video where he was trying to distill the real-world benefits LLMs have given us, and he got his big list from people who replied online (I think). Half the suggestions he threw out as ML, as they weren’t related to the generative AI, which is the main focus of the current trend. But these things are all getting lumped under the larger AI umbrella once they get to the marketing department.
