Because shit like that has been called “Pathing AI” for ages.

Also I’m very familiar with Machine Learning having actually learned it 3 decades ago when it was mainly just Neural Networks (there were other techniques but ultimately NNs became dominant and is most of what we today call Machine Learning) and its most advanced commercial use was to read postal codes in mail envelopes for automated mail sorting.

The acronym AI has been thrown around for decades, even before Neurap Networks were invented and well before Machine Learning was even called “Machine Learning”.
