I think this is a fascinating topic! I know there was a quick chat during the Year In Vidding panel, but would've loved to have explored it more.
Like beatriceeagle mentions, there are automation tools that don't really generate content (more like cleaning up content or aiding in editing specific things like removing text or adding subtitles or doing color corrections) and then there's the whole generating actual actor faces doing things that were never on film in the first place or choosing scenes to use. As long as the intent is using automation as a tool to shortcut something a creator would manually choose to do vs. using it to create something entirely new or do scene selections, etc.
And like you've said, the term 'AI' can be misleading. Not all automation tools use 'AI' resources in the way ChatGPT does, but are often referred to as 'AI' because it's the current buzzword. My company has some automated 'bots' that folks try to call 'AI', but they're not - they're code written by a human that takes specific input and does a specific thing with it. But we love hearing "everything's AI" *facepalm
Short answer to #1 though - is 'Yes' people will understand it. Some people might ask questions or try to split hairs, but the intent is absolutely clear.
