Some form of AI has existed perhaps since the beginning of civilization.

For example, all word processors and accounting software packages are
usually bundled with a plethora of boilerplate documents to suit a variety
of purposes.  Do you think the average office worker will create a dunning
letter from scratch?  That would be highly unlikely.  Rather they will select
a standard dunning boilerplate and perhaps modify it slighly.  Does that
seem quiite like current AI?

There is very little human creativity taking place on a daily basis
around the world.  Most is just rehearsed and rehashed standard formulas,
and the current digital AI trend just naturally fits into it all.
