AI has become the broadest term in existence. It used to just be called software. Just like when screens started being made "HD" and all of a sudden your Blizzard from DQ was an "HD" Blizzard.

I get irritated with the dilution of the term as well but then I remember calling the computer players in games like Super Mario Kart and GoldenEye AI when talking about them back in the day.

I remember calling it, "playing against the computer".

Nintendo still calls them "CPU" players. That one really grinds my gears

It has always been a broad term. It simply refers to any system designed to perform a cognitive task that would normally require a human. It's not synonymous with the term software.
