"All machine learning" is not AI, as k-means clustering and linear regression, amongst others, are very much ML without qualifying as AI algorithms.

As it is taught literally every single AI/machine learning course on the world, machine learning is very much part of AI completely since inception.

I don’t completely understand why it is this important for you to argue against this completely defined fact.

Technically linear regression is statistics rather than ML, but I feel like the GNU/Linux people whenever I point that out.
