it refers to lots of thinks

So it's a bad term.

the word program refers to even more things and no one says it's a bad word.

It's literally the name of the field of study. Chances are this uses the same thing as LLMs. Aka a neutral network, which are some of the oldest AIs around.

It refers to anything that simulates intelligence. They are using the correct word. People just misunderstand it.

If people consistently misunderstand it, it's a bad term for communicating the concept.

It's the correct term though.

It's like when people get confused about what a scientific theory is. We still call it the theory of gravity.
