Strongly seconded (I studied this in 2005-2009).

I don’t think there’s a brilliantly defined line between AI and not AI but it’s relatively key that you define a problem and something else then figures out a solution. Lots of things like shortest path using a* is AI for example. You don’t even need to get to a fuzzy point to consider something AI.

I don’t think people appreciate just how general LLMs are, and how incredibly narrow even the broadest AI systems were really not that long ago.
