AI does not exist. Large language models are not intelligent, they are language models.
I would argue that, prior to chatgpt's marketing, AI did mean that.
When talking about specific, non-general, techniques, it was called things like ML, etc.
After openai coopted AI to mean an LLM, people started using AGI to mean what AI used to mean.
Does that mean that enemy AIs that choose a random position near them and find the shortest path to it are smarter than chatgpt? They have been called AI for longer than i played games with enemies
You can also disprove the argument by just using duckduckgo and filtering from before OpenAI existed https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22AI%22&df=1990-01-01..2015-01-01&t=fpas&ia=web
