My pet peeve = authors who start using an acronym without ever "introducing" it. Suddenly there is an acronym used throughout an article, and one has to carefully go back and find the phrase to which it refers. Necessitated because the author was too lazy to introduce the acronym in parens after first using the phrase. Not sure how AI does this, but this problem predates AI by quite a bit.

Ironically, you perform your own pet peeve here with ‘AI’ (Artificial Intelligence)
“Oh but everyone here knows what AI means,” you say, and yet that’s what the very authors you complain about said too.
YGTR!

I'll ask Andrew Ingram how he does it next time I see him.
