Even yesteryear’s code completion systems (that didn’t rely on LLMs) are technically speaking, AI systems.
While the term “AI” became the next “crypto” or “Blockchain”, in reality we’ve been using various AI products for the better part of the past 30 years.
And honestly lightweight neural nets can make for some interesting enemy behavior as well. I’ve seen a couple games using that and wouldn’t be surprised if it caught on in the future.

Used to?

“AI” has become synonymous with “Generative AI”
They were technically Expert Systems.
AI was was the Marketing Term even then.
Now they are LLMs and AI is still the marketing term.
