Did the word "AI" just lost all meaning?

AI ( Artificial Intelligence ) just a few decades ago meant a robot or a computer that has human-like thinking. Think of HAL 9000, or the robots in I Robot. All of those things were "AI".

Today any remotely automatic algorithm on the planet is labeled with this nonsensical term.

What if a word's true meaning never quite disappeared, but merely went dormant, waiting for the right moment to bloom again?
