There’s a distinction into “narrow AI” and “Artificial General Intelligence”.
AGI is that sci-fi AI. Whereas narrow AI is only intelligent within one task, like a pocket calculator or a robot arm or an LLM.
And as you point out, saying that you’re doing narrow AI is absolutely not interesting. So, I think, it’s fair enough that people would assume, when “AI” is used as a buzzword, it doesn’t mean the pocket calculator kind.
Not to mention that e.g. OpenAI explicitly states that they’re working towards AGI.
