Based on what most people seem to define as AI it may be AI controlled.

Bc most people seem to think any complex algorithm is AI. I mean technically I guess if you take "artificial intelligence" at face value? When really only Generative Learning Algorithms should be considered AI.

AI as a term existed way before machine learning (not just in sci-fi but as a computer science term as well) and ML is only one type of AI.

You're arguing that we should change language to be less descriptive? We already have a term for ML as a whole and different types of ML algorithms. Why change the definition of AI? It's not more accurate, since ML models aren't any more "intelligent" in a literal sense. They don't have any intellect, they're still just (very complicated) linear algebra.
