You cannot invalidate what is called AI just because of the advancements in the fields, what you just described although simple is indeed AI and automation was humanities first attempt at AI anyways. On the other hand yes OPs point of view is invalid and I think that's just part of the meme

Actually I can, language is fluid and changes and develops all the time, it is entirely possible for the definitions and colloquial understanding of words and terms to change and evolve as technology, science and society evolves.

And the whole point was that the term AI is useless as a term when it describes basically every computer script in existence. At that point, "AI" is no longer it's own term, and effectively just becomes a synonym for "script" or "program", which removes any utility of using it in the first place.
