You're claiming that Generative AI isn't AI? Weird claim. It's not AGI, but it's definitely under the umbrella of the term "AI", and at the more advanced end (compared to e.g. video game AI).
The only people saying LLMs aren't AI are people who watched too many science fiction movies and think I, Robot is a documentary.
The only people saying LLMs are AI are people who are trying to make money off them. Do you remember that time a lawyer relied on "AI" to provide case history for him and it just made shit up out of thin air?
Humans invent stuff (without realising) it to, so I don't think that's enough to disqualify something from being intelligent.
The interesting question is how much of this is due to the training goal basically being "a sufficiently convincing response to satisfy a person" (pretty much the same as on social media) and how much of it is a fundamental flaw in the whole idea.
