The term AI is so worthless to begin with because it has no real definition. I would personally say that its “anything involving machine learning” but that defintion doesnt actually have anything to do with being “artificially intelligent” so it also makes no sense.
It does have a dictionary entry though, e.g. "the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively”, and I would argue that this definition fits.
The definition “something that lets a computer perform tasks that are thought to require intelligence” depends on the person, and whether they think something required a form of intelligence. Accounting for all variables over a large distance so you hit your target seems like it requires a reasonable amount of intelligence to me.
It is a extremely generic term though, almost like using ‘software package’. It is more often used as a buzzword than something that provides significant clarification about how it works.
Arguably, a smart algorithm that determines parameters is some form of AI, just not an LLM, image generator or other machine learning model.

“Anything involving machine learning” also has nothing to do with “classical AI,” which was basically just gigantic piles of
