Suffixications
"Suffixication" is when you add a suffix after a word, such as -ification. Essentially they are linguistic memes.
The design meme from the 30s was the Zephyr, the paragon of speed at the time, which was mimicked by teapots and toasters. In the 50s it was the Rocket, showing up primarily in tail fins. In the aughts it was the e- and -i prefixes for computers and peripherals. Now it's AI, which we can use as a suffix: e.g. "Musicai", music made primarily with algorithms. i- as a prefix is replaced with -ai as a suffix.
Other possible portmanteaux:
* Artai (Art made with AI)
* Legalai (AI used in text and data analysis in the legal industry)
* Investai (AI used in investing and finance)
* Cusinai (AI is the culinary arts and food industry)
* Manufacturai
* Politicai
* Travelai
