It's artificial and makes intelligent decisions, so yes? Even the switch statement was AI before you replaced it.

The definition of an intelligent decision appears as such: A choice or conclusion made after carefully considering various factors, options, and potential outcomes.

If those conclusions are made ahead of time and baked it, does it make any real difference if nobody can tell from the outside? I think not. It's safe to say there's a lot of intelligent decisions in any software in existence.

Wait, it's all AI?

Always has been.

What OP's probably really trying to say is they don't want to use black box AI of sufficient complexity that nobody alive knows how any of it works. That's the only real hard distinction I guess?
