AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My (native) English teacher once told me "regarding" was French and therefore not allowed in my essay. I was learning the language and probably around B1 or B2 at that time, and for a while I was so confused because I had obviously picked it up somewhere??
Turns out she was just wrong.

Depending on your source, English is 30-60% French based on a couple of dialects. It would be incredibly difficult to write English without it.
I had a similar-ish experience in English class. Neither my teacher nor I are native English speakers but it drove me crazy that she didn’t know “due to” existed. It’s such a weird experience when you’re sure of something but your teacher’s all like “nuh uh uhh”
