Yes, I'm aware that ML is a field of computer math artificial intelligence. But purposefully trotting that out is tantamount to doing unpaid work for Sam Altman at this point since in parlance nearly everyone uses "AI" as shorthand for modern generative AI systems as well as the hype itself.
Which thus...no, it wasn't called AI before, it was generally referred to as machine learning or neural networks with that implying it was AI (math) before it became labeled as AI (hype).
This feels like really unnecessary pedantry.
AI is the perfectly fine umbrella term for it. It was used forever in terms of ML. Just go back to the first entry in the linked Wikipedia entry and you will find that its literally the first sentence.
Just because you feel to have negative feelings about a scientific term, does not make it ok to claim it does not belong to the same or a related group.
