That was pretty much the definition of AI before LLM came.

And much before that it was rule-based machine learning, which was basically databases and fancy inference algorithms. So I guess "AI" has always meant "the most advanced computer science thing which looks kind of intelligent". It's only now that it looks intelligent enough to fool laypeople into thinking there actually is intelligence there.
