It's because it's not AI. They're chatbots made with machine learning that used social media posts as training data. These bots have zero intelligence. Machine learning and neural networks might lead to AI eventually, but these bots aren't it.
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).
Is it actually intelligent though? No. It's a choose your own adventure being written with random quotes that it guesses are correct through context, but it often gets the context wrong.
So it's not actually intelligent. Thus it's not AI.
AI is a field of research in computer science, and LLM are definitely part of that field. In that sense, LLM are AI. On the other hand, you're right that there is definitely no real intelligence in an LLM.
