Correct me if I'm wrong, but before the Twitter post that made it go viral, to "one-shot" something as a verb basically spread via AI research, like "few shot", "one shot", "zero shot" learning, no? Is "oneshotted" the first example of AI-driven slang? https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2025/02/oneshotted-going-online/681774/?gift=j9r7avb6p-KY8zdjhsiSZystam5tsS4_T3UQxm4pL5E

Like, the term existed before that, but I thought it became much more widely used through AI and specifically LLM research before it broke through on Twitter.
