It may be too late on this front, but don't say AI when there isn't any I to it.

Of course it could be successfully argued that humans (or at least a large amount of them) are also missing the I, and are just spitting out the words that are expected of them based on the words that have been ingrained in them.

AI as a field of computer science is mostly about pushing computers to do things they weren't good at before. Recognizing colored blocks in an image was AI until someone figured out a good way to do it. Playing chess at grandmaster levels was AI until someone figured out how to do it.

Along the way, it created a lot of really important tools. Things like optimizing compilers, virtual memory, and runtime environments. The way computers work today was built off of a lot of things out of the old MIT CSAIL labs. Saying "there's no I to this AI" is an insult to their work.

This is not up to you or me : AI is an area of expertise / a scientific field with a precise definition. Large, but well defined.

Intelligence: The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.

A self-driving car is able to observe its surroundings, identify objects and change its behaviour accordingly. Thus a self-driving car is intelligent. What's driving such car? AI.

You're free to disagree with how other people define words but then don't take part in their discussions expecting everyone to agree with your definiton.
