If we were inventing new terms, defining AI that way would be fine.
But we’re not defining a new term, and most people have a very different definition in mind. Using words to mean something completely different from what other people assume only leads to confusion.
I’ve spent a lot of time in my career around people working on machine learning, and I’ve never seen the IEEE definition of AI before you brought it up.
Going by your definition, “people who work with AI” just means people who work with computers in some capacity. I assure you the vast majority do not use the IEEE definition or even know about it.
“AI” is a pretty meaningless term. It’s impossible to say objectively whether any of the things you mentioned should be considered AI.
IEEE defines it as any software whos actions automate a human behavior. All those fall under the definition.
That could mean something as simple as arithmetic.
It could. What’s the problem?
People confuse AI with ML. AI can be ABS on a car.

Take it up with IEEE. Take it up with ancient inventions that change the path of flowing water that are deemed early AI.
That exact difference in.definition allows BS marketing like this. They can use the AI buzzword and you can’t sue them.
I don’t need to take it up with IEEE because as far I can tell nobody uses their definition.
I do, and most people who work with AI
