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.
Nintendo still calls them "CPU" players. That one really grinds my gears
I remember calling it, "playing against the computer".
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.
