I guess what I'm saying is that the colloquial definition of "AI" hasn't changed with the rise of LLMs. "AI" has been used to mean "computers that can make decisions" for at least 20 years. I don't know if you play video games, but "AI" has been synonymous with "Bot" or "NPC" in that space for a long time now.

When I was in college, I took classes on Artificial Neural Networks, a good several years before LLMs were released to the public. While you wouldn't find it in a textbook, a lot of the students called ANNs "AI".

Hell, the term "Artificial General Intelligence" was coined in 2007 to replace "AI" for the definition you are using, since people had started using "AI" a lot looser. That was 18 years ago, long before LLMs.

I agree that the corporations calling their LLMs AI is misleading and manipulative, hell I even could agree that they shouldn't be allowed to, but let's not pretend that they have changed the definition of AI. That is fundamentally untrue.
