        AI is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is more than just language manipulation, and covers a very broad spectrum of things relating to “computers dynamically perceiving and adapting to their environment to further a goal”.

        Having a body of information, using rules to infer new facts in light of that information, and using those rules and facts to respond to user inputs in a meaningful and helpful way is an expression of intelligence.
        It’s not human level obviously, and it likely lacks advanced language abilities, but that doesn’t make it not an application of AI.

        AI is in a huge number if things,but we usually don’t label it because it’s usually not notable or interesting.

            I appreciate how you ask a question, and when someone answers you just say “no” and insult them.

            Did you know that you can just search for this stuff and learn for yourself instead of being aggressively ignorant?

            Are you one of those people who thinks that AI means “a human level intelligence”, or some sort of magic system that doesn’t involve control flow?

            I had to look up what Akinator was, but yes, that game is using AI because statistical classification and knowledge retrieval are AI tasks.
