That's a technicality. The term AI do encompass a TON of things, but it is as irrelevant as saying "crypto" isn't just the scam machine we know. For most people, it is. And for most people, AI is "Gemini/Claude/ChatGPT". And telling them the difference isn't gonna matter at all.
I wonder if some people compiled a list of terms that got so removed from their actual meaning because of advertisement/commercial use. Like, "wifi" is synonymous to "wireless internet access" to so many people, and yet it's actually not.
