I've thought up a new, more apt, acronym for 'AI': MGA (machine generated algorithm). I don't think it's got any major associations, at least insofar far as a Google search would get me
I like the suggestion, I do think there's some potential confusion with the association of the almighty social media "algorithm", at least for more casual observers. I've heard some more technical folks using the term "Statistical Inference Machine" which I do think presents what is talked about as AI more earnestly. Makes it clear that it only serves to make associations, no "intelligence", etc.
I think that most social media algorithms are machine learned, and would qualify as 'AI' under the current, extremely vague, usage of the term. But, I do quite like 'Statistical Inference Machine', 'SIM' has a good ring to it (perhaps too good, too marketable). Though, I'm concerned it might imply too much human handedness
