Yeah, I'm not sure where the comparison comes from. CGI usually meant one script per page, which only bears a slight resemblance to microservices. It doesn't really have anything to do with service encapsulation or API consistency.
AWS Lambda and other serverless function things seem a little more like CGI scripting, but the way that each one was designed and used differs immensely. You might have been able to approximate serverless functions with CGI scripts, but I don't think that people did that.
