Isn't Google Search a form of AI in its own right? I mean with RankBrain?

No. Not in the contemporary common meaning of the term “AI”.

5 years ago you would be technically correct, but today “AI” is only a subset of technologies that used to be included in the term. Namely Large Language Models, Text To Image Models, Text To Video Models, and other forms of generative AI that take in a user text prompt. These other types of statistical models are now simply called Machine Learning Algorithms.

Very few people today say “AI”, and mean “any type of Machine Learning Algorithm”.

But wait AI is not only the LLMs. Machine Learning is AI just like Computer Vision is.

		I can't believe I'm saying this, but there may actually be a case for using "SI" now. I'm not saying machine learning somehow stopped being AI, but the term "AI" has become so synonymous with generative AI that people are apparently starting to retroactively redefine the entire field in terms of LLMs.

		Everyone here is aware of this fact. Everyone here is also aware of what specific form of AI is being discussed here, including, I suspect, you.
