In the industry ML is considered a subset of AI, as are genetic algorithms and other approaches to developing "intelligence". That's why people tend to use AGI now to differentiate, because the fields been evolving (not that I agree with the approach either) . Honestly, you show someone even 10/15 years ago what we can do with RL, computer vision, LLMs and they'd certainly call it AI. I think the real problem is a failure to convey what these things actually are, they're sold to the public under the term AI only to hype up the brand/business.
"AI is whatever haven't been done yet"
Some people trying ELIZA back in the 60s attributed intelligence and even feelings to it. So yeah, turns out humans are rather easy to trick with good presentation.
