I will admit to finding it humorous that someone would go back to the improvements brought by the use of computers to weather forecasting in the 1950s and attempt to use that as an example of artificial intelligence. Anyone else remember ENIAC and want to claim that it was an implementation of artificial intelligence? Take a look at
M-ENIAC: A Physics-Informed Machine Learning Recreation of the First Successful Numerical Weather Forecasts. The implementation of the barotropic vorticity equation solver for cellphones was fun to play with considering the iPhone used for the implementation was ~10,000 times more power than the ENIAC.
Like most other fads in computer science, AI has become more an overused buzzword than anything meaningful.
