I love it when people angrily declare that something AI researchers figured out in the 60s can’t be AI because it involves algorithms.
Using an algorithm to take a set of continuous input variables and map them to a set of continuous output variables in a way that maximizes result quality is an AI algorithm, even if it’s using a precomputed lookup table.
AI has been a field since the 1950s. Not every technique for measuring the environment and acting on it needs to be some advanced deep learning model for it to be a product of AI research.

Then they may as well say they did it “with computers.”
Oh, but that’s not sexy, is it.
I mean, no, it isn’t. It is a marketing decision after all.
That doesn’t mean that type of thing isn’t the product of AI research.
