You object to the use of the term AI but then go ahead and use another definition for the term which is equally as arbitrary. No hate. Just saying. Nobody has a clear definition of what constitutes AI vs ML vs "statistical/algorithmic optimisation" these days. My own approach is to restrict the use of the term "AI" to cases where a tangible "agent" is involved, which is capable of taking "actions" within its embedded context in the broader sense, and whose "intelligence" is somehow relevant to solving the problem at hand (rather than, say, simply an algorithm fed inputs and making predictions on a computer)
