The term has been stolen and redefined . It's pointless to be pedantic about it at this point.

AI traditionally meant now-mundane things like pathfinding algorithms. The only thing people seem to want Artificial Intelligence to mean is “something a computer can almost do but can’t yet”.

AI is, by definition these days, a future technology. We think of AI as science fiction so when it becomes reality we just kick the can in the definition.
