AI is not a technology, it's just a name for things that were hard to do. It used to be playing chess better than a human was considered AI, but when it turned out you can brute force it, it wasn't considered AI anymore.
A lot of people don't consider AlphaGo to be AI, even though neural networks are the kind of technique that's considered as AI.
AI is a moving target so when we get better at something we don't consider it true AI
I'm quite aware of the history of the field, thanks. It's had a lot of cycles of fast movement followed by a brick wall. You can't assume it'll have a nice, smooth upward trajectory.
