So, if I pick the piece of software that happens to be closest at hand, which in this case is the browser with which I am reading your post—you claim that Firefox is an AI? It’s a complex mechanism, sure, but so is a car, and we don’t generally regard those as intelligences.
What do you believe the term AI actually means, if a Hello World program apparently qualifies, but a rubber stamp of the words Hello World does not qualify?
Ok. Can you try tabooing the term AI and restating your thesis? Your definition differs drastically from what I would use, so I wonder if I’m reading unintended connotations.

A process that computes.

I don’t want to taboo AI at this time. It is too universal a term. And that AI = Software is my central thesis, so I will not taboo that.
Surely brains have processes that compute people?
ETA: To rephrase: a person is a process in a brain
Yes. Social skills. And the people itself is a process.
Cars have eyes that emit more light than they take in. What would happen if you did the opposite, but with words? Serious question.
