I could have used this when I was a kid playing games and would go "sorry, my cpu is bad" whenever I had lag issues even though the cpu was actually okay and it was really because of playing on a laptop with integrated graphics and a spotty internet connection, because at the time I thought CPU was just a short way of saying ComPUter...

I blame games back then for calling bots/AI "CPU" characters, short for "computer"

No I'm pretty sure that was also literally referring to the CPU inside the computer or whatever console you were playing on, as that is the specific module that would be calculating the moves for (or, "playing as") said bot player.
