Can we please make the distinction between Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Intelligence?

Mass Effect used this to great effect.

An AI is a fully actualized Intelligence. A sentient being. It can think and feel and it is genuine intelligence. What we would call AGI.

A VI is a Virtual Intelligence. That's a chatbot or LLM. A program made to mimic intelligence.

In Mass Effect VI were used as tour guides and as the user facing interface to relay information.

I think the whole space would greatly benefit from making that distinction clear.
