A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

You are unfortunately wrong on this one. The term "AI" has been used to describe things other than AGI since basically the invention of computers that could solve problems. The people that complain about using "AI" to describe LLMs are actually the ones trying to change language.

I think the modern pushback comes from people who get their understanding of technology from science fiction. SF has always (mis)used AI to mean sapient computers.
