CNN has an interesting article that bubbled up on Hacker News today suggesting companies should stop using the ‘AI’ label.
Brands should avoid this popular term. It’s turning off customers
Even as tech giants pour billions of dollars into what they herald as humanity’s new frontier, a recent study shows that tacking the “AI” label on products may actually drive people away.
I’ve watched naming trends come and go and I feel strongly that ‘AI’ in a company name, even .ai domains themselves, will fall out of favor in the next few years.
I’m a big fan of first name domains for branding, and have a small collection I’ve collected over many years. I think these would make great AI chat bot names. Here’s a favorite of mine for example. Perhaps a Spanish speaking chat bot. Or a bot that specializes in job search. Pricing is firm, and I will be raising my prices if these start trending. Payment plans available.

With numbers like like these you can bet there are folks looking to brand their new THC or CBD edibles company. A five letter domain that suggests your niche without being a generic term that would be impossible to trademark makes a great fit. At a great price with a payment plan if you need it. 
Imagine you’re a salesman following up on some leads with calls. But you have the advantage of an AI assistant. Your AI assistant pulls up the lead, where it came from, and provides background info on the prospective buyer. As the call progresses you’re prompted to suggest benefits your product or service offers according to your prospect’s objections. Your assistant gauges the prospect’s reaction and steers you towards a close. It suggests exact wording that has previously proven to work.
How can you connect people providing a service to folks needing that service, as a middleman, a platform, without having a way to vet the people you’re recommending? It’s a giant problem. A lot of companies do it themselves, full background checks. Others integrate with a third party, for example, Checkr (now there’s a domain I can relate to), Sterling (SterlingCheck), GoodHire, Checkmate (.tech, ouch).
