It's like how they slapped 'Smart' on every tech product in the past decade. Even devices that are dumb as fuck are called 'Smart' devices. Words entirely lost their meaning because of advertisers abusing trendy words.

Even 'AI' is being abused. I always thought of AI as artificial consciousness, an unnatural and created-by-humans self-aware and self-thinking being. Most of the AI products now are just search engines, image generators and apps being programmed to do something. In fact stuff like ChatGPT would've made more sense to actually be called 'Smart' search engines instea of 'AI'. They might be technological achievements, but they're not AI.

When I was a teen, it was "e"-everything. E-mail, e-pets, e-bologna, e-games, e-surance, whatever. eBay is a relic of this era.
