My jaw hit the floor when I watched an AI master one of the world's toughest physical games in just six hours (www.techradar.com)

I'm fine with the usage of the acronym and expression in CS; specially because scientists are damn stubborn when it comes to "This is not [word1]! This is [word2]! Don't screw with the terminology, you muppet!". (As they should.)

So the bone that I have to pick against it is mostly against its marketing usage. Specially when it masks the underlying tech, just to make it look fancier. (Like here.)

It may be over-used but in my mind it's still the correct term. AI is quite a broad category so you can fit many kinds of software algorithms under it. Perhaps it's misleading as many people probably imagine AI to imply AGI when it could just be narrow AI aswell which even though not generally intelligent may still be superhuman at this one specific task like in this example playing the labyrith.
