AI == Computer Thingy that looks kinda "smart" to people that don't understand it. it's like rectangles and squares. you should use the more precise word (CNN, LLM, Stable diffusion) when applicable, just like with rectangles and squares
machine learning is a type of AI. scifi movies just misused the term and now the startups are riding the hype trains. AGI =/= AI. there's lots of stuff to complain about with ai these days like stable diffusion image generation and LLMs, but the fact that they are AI is simply true.
