Lots of people think it’s only AI if it’s at least a Machine-Learning enabled Neural Network whose model is at least of 1B+ parameter complexity and runs on a digital computer using NVIDIA hardware.
It isn’t, or at least wasn’t, unless you use the techbro definition from the past 10 or so years (or the Hollywood definition from before that).
Bristlebots were some of the most simple proto-AI you could make. They are capable of navigation and object-avoidance in 3D space and even show simple swarm behavior, even without any kind of computing power or “brain”.
That is AI too. If a machine can make a decision based on some input, it is AI. A (functional) if statement in a programme makes it AI.
Would you call an old school analog thermostat (that uses melting and congealing wax to open/shut a vent) AI?
There are ‘computers’ made using clockwork and hydraulics, so I guess yes.

Again it’s semantics, but the computer is not making the decision, it’s calculating the decision. The detention is whether it’s deterministic
