As long as there is any large amounts of ice on the planet, it will be called an ice age by geologists. So yes, we are in an ice age by that pedantic technical definition.
What's relevant in this discussion, is when was the last time temperature and climate were significantly lower on the Earth, coupled with much larger amounts of ice on the planet. This was over 10k years ago.
Of course, this whole discussion is moot, because natural causes have never in scientifically measurably history, caused GMST to change at the rate it is now - about 2C in 150 years, caused by humans dumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
