AI has always been a sliding scale. A calculator is AI if you want to call it that. But when we start invoking terminology that evokes human-like creativity, things start to break down because we don't understand that kind of creativity and we have never built a machine capable of it. People like to bring up chess and Go in these conversations, because "people thought those required creativity". In reality, we found out that brute forcing a bunch of data through a computational statistics program ended up working, so those games actually didn't require creativity. This logo system is not doing anything remotely worthy of being called "design", unless you define that word to be utterly devoid of the implied creativity of a intelligent, sentient creator.

Similarly, design isn't design unless it works like human design, which involves sentience. I'm just not sure that these assumptions are fair to make when we are discussing meaningful advances in artificial intelligence.
