Well that's the dirty little open secret, isn't it? These "AI" programs are just beefier versions of the same kinds of translation, predictive text, "smart" image editing, and chatbot software we've had for a while. Significantly more sophisticated and more powerful, but not exactly new. That's why "AI" is suddenly appearing everywhere: in many cases, a less sophisticated predecessor of it was already there, they just didn't use the marketing language OpenAI popularized.
I legit had a spelling and grammar checking add-on that rebranded itself to "AI", and it did absolutely nothing different than what it already did.
And the whole point is that absolutely none of this is "AI" in any meaningful way. It's like when that company tried to brand their new skateboard/segway things from a few years ago as "hoverboards". You didn't achieve the thing, you're just reducing what the term means to make it apply to your new thing.
