As usual with "AI", there's no intelligence involved with OCR. It's just more data processing / classification being lumped into the hype.

Right, we need to come up with better terms for talking about "AI". Personally at the moment I'm considering any transformer-type ML system to be part of the category, as you stated none of them are any more "intelligent" than any others. They're all just a big stack of tensor operations. So if one is AI, they all are.

Remember long ago when "fuzzy logic" was all the hype and considered to be AI? Just a very early form of classifier network but everyone was super excited at the time.
