  AI is just a very generic term and always has been. It’s like saying “transportation equipment” which can be anything from roller skates to the space shuttle". Even the old checkers programs were describes as AI in the fifties.

  Of course a vague term is a marketeer’s dream to exploit.

  At least with self driving cars you have levels of autonomy.

  Before chatgpt was revealed, this is under the unbrella of what AI meant. Don’t change the terms just because you want them to mean something else.
