I think they should have also added a link no I am not doing it to the movie iRobot Will Smith, Bridget Moynahan, Alan Tudyk. Main character hates robots, calls them "canner". "Move out of my way, canner". The plot is predicated on his prejudice which was justified [1] but ends up solving a crisis and his perspective is changed by the end of the movie. In my opinion it's a great movie to watch and gives some interesting perspectives on both sides of AI vs anti-AI though they don't call it that, just robots. AI is just expected.

Crazy to think that one day people will be canceled for saying the 'C' word.

I heard this term being used for people who either use or support AI

That's amusing, although expected that some would misuse the terms, considering so many are now engaging in conversations about AI.
