The definitions of words are a pragmatic matter; we choose them to make concepts easy to talk about. If the definition of AI were broadened to cover all software, then we would immediately need a new word for "software which is autonomous and general-purpose in a vaguely human-like way", because that's a thing which people want to talk about.

When you start thinking about "chauvinism", with regard to software that exists now, it's... kind of like if someone were to talk about how people were being mean to granite boulders. I'm just scratching my head about how you came to believe that.
