i'll just say that people can talk about a constellation of phenomena and we can all understand and appreciate the coherent meaningfulness of calling it "AI". CS people don't get to monopolize language - not even technical jargon. what a weirdly meta conversation to be having by the way

AI is an overarching political / ideological project to displace and relocate autonomy into the hands of technocrats and other tech elite. fixating on the technical stack is stupid; even AI researchers played the field and dabbled in expert systems. Prolog is the "first AI programming language".
