To me, it sounds like you are conflating AI and AGI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc... The way I and many others use the term "AI", is based on the understanding that AI is an umbrella term that includes modern deep learning as well as the broader field of machine learning, and also the other pre-machine-learning types of AI such as symbolic AI, expert systems etc. If the stuff running on Lisp Machines was referred to as AI, I don't see why GPT-3 can't be labelled as such.

To me, "an AI" implies an autonomous agent, even if it is dumb. But many of those you listed are techniques for AI, not AIs themselves. The same goes for these ML models: most are techniques or components suitable for AI, not AIs themselves. I'd consider these language models AI if they initiated conversations themselves or used conversation as part of a plan to achieve some objective. But so far, game bots are more deserving of the title than these trendy language models and painting generators, IMO.
