One of the earliest examples of "Artificial Intelligence" was a program that played tic-tac-toe. Much of the early research into AI was just playing more and more complex strategy games until they solved chess and then go.

So LLMs clearly fit inside the computer science definition of "Artificial Intelligence".

It's just that the general public have a significantly different definition "AI" that's strongly influenced by science fiction. And it's really problematic to call LLMs AI under that definition.
