The intention of the "artificial" in "AI" is not that particular meaning of "artificial", but the one for "constructed, man-made"—see meaning #1 in the Wiktionary definition[0]; the one you are using is #2.

It is often frustrating that English has words with such different (but clearly related) definitions, as it can make it far too easy to end up talking past each other.

Uh oh, are you an AI? You seem to have missed my attempt at wry humor.
