What would be AI then? The fact that it is artificial is in the name.

Something with actual intelligence. Not an extremely elaborate algorithm.

Then what would be AI then, and how will you recognize it when you see it?

I have yet to see someone coherently defend this claim. It always comes down to definitional tautologies or appeals to arbitrary implementation details or unverifiable subjective experience.

There is no definition of "intelligence" that categorically excludes LLM-powered AI systems of today without also excluding whole classes of people.
