Have you been balking at video game AI this whole time? At chess engines when they were pure search? Or at chess engines now?
It's actually long been noted that the bar keeps rising, that when we figure something out it stops being called AI by a lot of people. I don't think that's individuals raising their bar necessarily though, but stuff becomes more mainstream or younger people being introduced to it.

That's interesting, I've seen it the other way around. In the 90s I don't remember anything related to AI depicting something as simple as fancy text prediction or human-like speech. Going back further and Hal from Space Odyssey didn't seem like an AI that was just predictive text. Its always possible my expectations were born from science fiction and not academic research, but that's a pretty big gap if academics considered AI to only require natural language processing and text prediction.
