Comment (by desrosj):

 Historically, plugins have largely referred to these "connection details"
 as "API keys".

 One thing I am still not clear on is what the benefit is of renaming this
 to "connectors" when a plugin requires a simple set of API credentials or
 a key.

 Using connectors for AI-related tools makes sense because it is a new
 concept. But there is a long-standing word association that users will
 have to be retrained on by renaming this.

 @matveb past listing AI connectors and plugin API keys in one location
 (which I fully agree with), are you able to help clarify what the benefits
 are of calling the same thing instead of having two types?
