Illustrator Might Consider a Name Change...Seriously.

Literally zipping my .ai files so non-Illustrator users will stop assuming that I'm using A.I. 

Adobe Illustrator has 35 years of established history. That's a really long history to consider when it comes to requesting a brand name change simply because the pop culture zeitgeist is obessing over "artificial intelligence."

By the way, Illustrator is a useful tool for video production. After Effects and Premiere Pro can import vector content from Illustrator and even put it into motion.

I had to click through 3 screens and still was given no answer

Surely you can't blame that on Adobe.

I'd agree the developing overlap is unfortunate, but I have serious doubt Adobe will find it constitutes a business case to change the name.

Well, it's Ai VS A.I.

if anything, the people talking about artificial intelligence would be graced to learn that an acronym has to be written a certain way in order to be intelligible.
I don't know why Adobe decided to shorten Adobe Illustrator with a lower case i, maybe that was to distinguish it from Artificial intelligence? The term is not novel by any means (1955 apparently, so Illustrator wasn't even an idea)

Pedantry, I hear you say! 🤣
Still, If I were Adobe, I wouldn't budge ...

I think you can mostly discern it by context. Illustrator has never played a role in video editing workflows (as a video tool), so that might give you an indication.
