They don't. Just like "AI" has been co-opoted to mean "algorithm".
Large groups of humans turn everything they touch into shit.
I'm old enough to remember when algorithm was co-opted to be a fancy word replacement for "computer programming" or "software".
Algorithm??? I can understand not coming up with "Artificial Intelligence", but if "Al" is "algorithm", then that means they think its A L, with the L lowercase. So, that means they aren't pronouncing it "aye eye" or "aye el" they're pronouncing it "Al". Like the first name Al.
Which just makes me think of a reboot of Married with Children. Except it's just Peggy surrounded by cyborgs made to look and sound like the original characters.
So now Peggy wants sex, and she says "OOOOHHHHH AAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!"
Followed by a robot drinking a beer, and sticking his hands down his pants. Somehow even artificial Al looks defeated.
