Few things in our universe are as fluid as the definition of "AI"

I know from The Computer Chronicles episodes that "AI" was a hot commercial and academic topic from as early as 1984 but this is the first time that I've seen graph searching algorithms to be considered "AI" (see images)

Is it really just if statements all the way down?
