If human-like continual learning is suddenly the standard, you can just as easily say that terms like machine learning and deep learning are an "act of marketing".
Quoting directly from the dartmouth conference:
"every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it."
