Algorithms and expert machines a weren't and aren't AI. Can't say that I've ever played Halo so have no idea about that. This is Lemmy though, so you shouldn't be surprised that I've watched most if Trek, read The Culture and the Asimov robot books.
Expert machines are AI, genetic algorithms are AI, state machines are AI, and the perceptron was AI.
That's because AI stands for artificial intelligence, and all of those technologies are attempts to artificially produce intelligence.
Your definition is, in fact, wrong. Read the textbooks. Read the dictionaries... But I don't blame you for having an incorrect definition; that's what the snake oil salesmen want you to believe.
You are technically correct.
But non-technical people assume AI to be AGI, which LLMs are not nor ever will be.
That's because non-technical people watch far more movies than computer science lectures. They think AI is that thing from the movies.
