As a machine learning data developer, I disagree... a machine learning ai to recognize the volume of detergent left in a soap bottle, both exists, and has no reason to be left leaning... you seem to have very limited experience with ai. Looking at other comments You also seem to be mixing the ideas of AI, GAI, and Sentience. Here's some help for you:
Ai: artificial intelligence, is usually a specific task that a machine is trained to do, which normally would take human level intelligence to complete.
GAI: general artificial intelligence, is more broad. Like, a computer learns to do a large amount Of tasks making it appear to have a more generalized intelligence.
Sentience: refers to the capacity to have subjective experiences, sensations, or feelings. Sentient beings are conscious and aware of their own existence and the world around them. While AI and GAI focus on intelligence and cognitive abilities, sentience refers more to the aspect of consciousness and subjective experience.
Your profession can reword whatever you want, but I am a computer programmer as well, and everything you are doing is just computer programs that can comb data and regurgitate it in certain forms, all you are working with are computer programs, they do not think for themselves, which is not the true meaning of the term "Artificial Intelligence". The true meaning of the term "Artificial Intelligence" is all of what you said combined into a thinking machine that can make decisions for itself separate from human interaction.
If you want to say artificial intelligence is just "a specific task that a machine is trained to do, which normally would take human level intelligence to complete", would you say Windows is artificial intelligence? What about a cotton gin? OK BRAD. But you are just dumbing down a concept for dumb people, and don't understand that you are using the redefined version of the word, and not speaking about the same thing the intelligent people are, because you fell for it. I am guessing you are on the lower level at your job? Entry level or one step higher?

No, windows would not be, it was not created with a neural network and is not running based on a learned algorithm.
Your definition of AI includes Windows, it didn't mention a learned algorithm or a neural network. It seems like you haven't thought this through.
Our semantic argument doesn't prove Ai doesn't exist.
