You posted this exact same thing less than a day ago with a different title. It is clear you are new here, so it may be worth your time to read: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
That being said, this is still too deep in the weeds. To make things even simpler, if someone promotes implementation details as features, it is a red flag. And that is all "AI Powered" is - an implementation detail. If you are delivering a worthwhile solution, you'd be talking about how it solves a problem, not what tech makes it work.
> has become the new "cloud-based"—a meaningless marketing term often used to justify a price hike for a feature that is, at best, a glorified if/else statement
Cloud-based isn't a meaningless marketing term - it means you can (or have to) visit a website instead of installing an app locally - made things easier to distribute/update compared to desktop apps. Also probably means you might have to keep paying for it regularly and if the company goes away the app will stop working.
Can't upvote this enough. Sadly, very few people will care about calling bullshit and i even doubt there's money in calling bullshit. Everyone is happily betting on it - and they seem to be winning!

I'll be honest, this reads very much AI-generated.
You're absolutely right.
I call AI generated posts bullshit
