    Then we may as well define my left shoe as AI for all the good subjective arbitrary definition does. Objective reality is what it is, and what’s being called “AI” objectively is not. If you wanted to give it a name with accuracy it would be “comparison and extrapolation engine” but there’s no intelligence behind it beyond what the human designer had. Artificial is accurate though.

      instead of basing your definition of AI on SciFi, base it on the one computer scientists have been using for decades.

      and of course, AI is the buzzword right now and everyone is using it in their products. But that’s another story. LLMs are AI.

      Tiny fist shaking intensifies.

      This sort of hyper-pedantic dictionary-authoritarianism is not how language works. Nor is your ridiculous “well I can just define it however I like then” straw-man. These are terms with a long history of usage.
