We call it all AI because it's easier. But there are different types of AI, some of which aren't AI at all. Humans require new language to describe the Burgeoning array of AI Tragedies (BAIT) and the sole meaningful benefit. The artificial part, however, still holds.
Luckily, these acronyms are previously unused as other words or to mean something else, so there will be no confusion:
AA: Artificial Armageddon - the outcome of the global economic bubble caused by AI sucking worldwide wealth into itself
AC: Artificial Creation - cold, non-human created text senseless in meaning, or images with wonky eyes and six-handed fingers
AD: Artificial Diagnosis - catches balls dropped by medical professionals
AHA: Artificial Health Assistance - cures illness and disease, eases pain, saves lives
AKA: Artificial Killing Assistance - tech used to locate and end targeted individuals
AK47: Artificial Killing (automatically) - tech used to indiscriminately obliterate life
AM: Artificial Manipulation - use of tech to mislead people, especially early in the day
APP: Artificial Palantir Progress - how is Palantir obtaining all the contracts for all our data?
ARS: Artificial Rear-ending Speedsters - driverless vehicles which use the car in front to slow down
ASS: Artificial Safety Service - same as ARS, but in America
AS: Artificial Sex - glory hole experiences where there isn't a human in the next cubical
AS: Artificial Suspicion - you used to give the benefit of the doubt, now you don't, even when it's a genuine human
AT: Artificial Trauma - the feeling experienced when you thought something was real, but it turns out it wasn't. Leads to more AS. Both types.
AW: Artificial Water - what humans will be forced to drink once AI has used up all the fresh water on the planet
AWE: Artificial World End - does what it says on the tin
AYE: Artificial Yes Entity - artificial workplace employee who replaced you to do whatever your stupid boss wants
A1: an AI which can't tell the difference between itself and a main road. Or your mate Alan.
A&E: Artificial Exploitation - tech designed to con or extort money out of humans.
