AI may have a definition that is a bit vague but I find it unfair to say that you can call any black box "AI". (Though I'll gladly grant artistic license to your specific example)
I was recently asked to make a very simple introduction to AI. It made me think a bit as I have been annoyed at the confusion between ML and AI that is so frequent nowadays.
I proposed that AI started with Turing's hypothesis that brains are Turing machines and that AI was the field that tries to bring human capacities to computers.
My next slide says "AI is not really a field. It is more of a goal and a theme. And now a set of techniques used in many different fields."
