AI has a pretty clear definition. What you mean to say is that it isn't intelligent but that doesn't make it not AI. Like how a shooting star isn't actually a star.

I dunno, I've asked it to do increasingly more complex tasks and it's obliged. Stuff like take these 10 pages of handwritten tables and ocr them and make a .csv out of them. It's inventing a whole process to do that. Same with some examples of it programming entire games. You need some procedural thinking to do those things.

People who claim it's just a very convincing auto-complete are uneducated and easily manipulated by social media groupthink.
