y'all have no idea how frustrating it's been feeling like I need to walk on eggshells when talking about certain OCs of mine who are born from AI *in-universe* and are integral to the story I've been developing for more than 20 years... 😑

I think the same thing happened/ IS happening with Vocaloids; folks pointing to Miku and saying she’s an AI figurehead or success story despite the fact she’s only one narratively.
It absolutely SUCKS! I hate it, amd I’m spitefully correcting anyone who tries to draw correlations between the fictional instances of AI and the fake branding scheme thats using the term to make a quick buck!
Robots and AI in fiction are such a powerful narrative tool. A kind of person who's only valued for their function, for what they can do, is a metaphor with a lot to say a life in the work force. They represent us, not some language model.
Data from star trek for example is a character with a lot to say about the human condition, and absolutely nothing to say about random technologies marketed as "AI" some forty years after he was conceived.
