Not to forget that talk about "AI", when talking about "actual AI" it usually gets referred to as "true AI", something that is supposed to be able to Learn, think and act on it's own, without any specific data-feed from a specific "user", but rather by it's own means (camera, whatnot) even though it is supposed to be created by an intelligent being (hence artificial).
"True" and useful "AI" would just be too difficult to achieve without blowing up entirely - although in terms of closeness, the LLMs are a step further but still no "true" AI - to my understanding.
But yes, the term of AI has been used seemingly forever by now - specifically anything that has conditions to make a choice between actions, while getting the data for said conditions "on the fly". (Whether the actions are intelligent or not is a seperate matter)
But why the hell is that the topic now anyway...
