Over use of term "AI" is back. It's 80s all over again :). These kind of "challenges" are no where close to AI. They are just bit complex program whoes behavior is fully programmed by humans and they are only good at for very very specific "challange". These programs would be unable to hold a conversation with humans or read a newspaper and create their internal belief system. Stop calling these things "AI".
Video game bots have been called "AI" for decades now, it's a little late to dispute the term. The word "AI" doesn't imply "strong AI", there is "weak AI" as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_AI
Also see the AI effect, where something is called "AI" until we actually solve it or understand it, then it is no longer called AI. "AI is whatever hasn't been done yet." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect
