AI is the term, like it or not. Understanding what that means is important to use it. I don't think changing the term helps anyone. If they don't get what AI, GenAI, or ML mean for a problem space, they won't be able to work with other terms either.

Most AI chatbots keep the conversations sandboxed, so even if we convince it that it's wrong on some specific topic, it won't remember outside the context of that conversation.
Correct. Absolutely none of them have any kind of "feedback loop", that allows them to learn new things on the fly. Which is what most people think AI is supposed to be able to do. Chat GPT, for example, only uses data from up to 2021:

That 2021 limitation may apply to earlier release of ChatGPT or (more likely) apply only to the free version.

I'm subscribed to the paid edition of ChatGPT, which costs $20 / month, and using the latest GPT-4 model, I routinely have conversions about current events in the news. It's awareness of new topics seems to lag behind at most 24 hours. It's also contextually aware of past conversations I've had with it. For example, if I mention the city where I live in a conversation about hiking trails, it will remember that fact and suggest advice relevant to my specific state in another conversation about taxes and estate planning. I don't think it's persisting that information back to the collective, but it just indexes it locally within the app.

What we really need is to just stop calling it AI.

Nah... "AI" is the perfect abbreviation but people need to be aware of what it really stands for... "Alluringly Incorrect".
