alt Hacker NewsGoogle search has involved various forms of AI for a decade or more...
All those ranking algorithms that decide which link comes at the top? They use AI.
Sure - it doesn't look like a chatbot, but it's still AI under the covers and they couldn't in good conscious even give you search from 2008 and claim there was no AI involved.

I find these arguments absurd. You know full well what the schools mean. And that it is not the same thing as objection to 2008 technology. Which was not even called AI in 2008 but technically falls into onw of definitions.

yes but choosing what link to click and then making up your mind from the contents was not AI

It's pretty clear that in this context, and in much of the current discussion about "AI", that "AI" is used to mean generative language models.
