8 year old me playing Ms. Pacman on the glass table in the front while my parents are on drink number six on the stools in back and CCR's version of Heard it Through the Grapevine starts on the jukebox.

At my first grownup job I had to troubleshoot a customer's non-working DSL home internet which was weird because I didn't work in support but it was a VIP named Donald Sutherland and when I called him it was the actual Donald Sutherland and he was super nice and chill on the phone.

Though sympathetic to pedants upset about conflating techbro dipshit LLM snake oil with AI as a field, that is why historically the useful AI shit got broken off into its own thing so that "AI" can remain the ephemeral goalpost-moving domain of sci-fi authors. The machine learning people knew this.
