To be fair, many things that exist today would have been considered AI back then. Part of the problem with AI, as John Neumann observed it already is that if you can formulate precisely enough what you want, you are already on the way to solving it so it is a shifting definition to some extent.
Otherwise totally agree with your point, it's amazing how most science fiction of the past missed things like the internet.

- russell 15y agoI am amused at how wrong SF authors often get the details of every,day future things. In Stranger in a Strange Land, set around 2000(?), one of the characters mentions a mobile phone the size of a brief case. Or in recent David Weber novel, the heroes get through customs, because the agents hadnt received their photos. In the year 4000 something. I will admit that with a 2000 year advance in security the book would have been a lot shorter.
