You can't stretch definition of AI that wide.
Where's AI in Microsoft Office? Where's AI in spellchecking? Where's AI in route planning? Demand planning, maybe.

Should we consider the "if it works, it's no longer AI" point made now?
Works really well even if it is a bit repetitive.
Route planning is essentially "the" fundamental AI problem. You need to get from A to B and there are 2^100 ways to do it. How do you pick the best one?
In contrast, your example of the human is like modern AI, specifically unsupervised learning. I'm sure I could get a human doing that kind of pattern matching quite good at it quite quickly.
If I didn't have a learning system I could still write an algorithm for it quite quickly, by computing the Levenshtein distance. But that algorithm would notoriously not understand the context of the sentence, probabilities of words, etc. And indeed Word/Android/iOS spell correct still gets it really wrong much of the time. But the AI used is quite different from old timey backtracking.
