There is no widely accepted definition of "AI" and even if I accepted this one (I absolutely do not) no LLM meets this bar in the general sense.

Game tree heuristic searches, like the minimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning, has also been called AI, which is why programs that play chess are called AI.

What I think is the problem is that when people hear "artificial intelligence," they don't think of chess programs anymore; they think of something like Skynet from the Terminator. Or, maybe now they think of ChatGPT.

That 1956 workshop is widely credited as the place where the term AI was coined.

If they don't get to define "AI", who does?
