Ha, I wasn't old or into it enough at the time to remember that, but it is consistent with just about every IC datasheet ever with their list of possible applications. (Like: logic gate; applications include Walkman, Rocket ship, Fuzzy Logic Washing Machine, mobile phone, AGI co-processor, ...)
The Dell marketing machine in particular is bludgeoning everyone that will listen about Dell AI PCs. The implication that folks will miss the boat on AI by not having a piddly NPU in their laptop is silly.
