The term AI was coined in 1956 at a computer science conference and was used to refer to a broad range of topics that certainly would include machine learning and neural networks as used in large language models.
I don't get the "it's not really AI" point that keeps being brought up in discussions like this. Are you thinking of AGI, perhaps? That's the sci-fi "artificial person" variety, which LLMs aren't able to manage. But that's just a subset of AI.
Yeah, these are pattern reproduction engines. They can predict the most likely next thing in a sequence, whether that's words or pixels or numbers or whatever. There's nothing intelligent about it and this bubble is destined to pop.
