Yes, but in this case, the word is getting less defined. "AI" used to mean one thing, but now it doesn't, because "AGI" took its place. At no point, however, was this distinction made literal. It can only be found in the surrounding context.

I'd argue that "AI" used to mean a whole universe of things, from self-optimizing rice cookers to computers that figure out the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Today AI remains a catch-all, but having more narrowly scoped terms like ML, AGI, and ASI lets people talk without tripping over whether or not the rice cooker is going to turn us all into paperclips.
