> I think we forget how old the term algorithm is.

given Al Kwarizimi lived ~12 century (if memory serves right) it is a fairly old term in this regard.

when was it that modern people started using the word, I'd bet beginning of 20th century, but this is a wild guess.

when did everyone started calling algorithms "ai", well perhaps ~1960 ?
