100% this, people say they understand AI is a buzzword, but don’t realize just how large of an umbrella that term actually is.
Enemy NPCs in video games back to the 80’s fall under AI.

When most people hear AI they think AGI and because a narrow-AI language model doesn’t perform the way they expect an AGI to they then say stuff like “it’s not intelligent” or “it’s not an AI” AI as a term is about as broad as the term “plants” which contains everything from grass to giant redwoods. LLM is just a subcategory like conifers.

The term AI is actually from the 1950s The phrase “artificial intelligence” was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy during a workshop at Dartmouth College, where researchers aimed to explore whether machines could think like humans.
