seem a Hell of a lot closer

"seem" is the critical word there. Interacting with an LLM they do seem to be pretty clever.

I'm not talking about interacting with it. I'm talking about how it's implemented, from my perspective as a computer scientist.

Let me say it more concretely: if even shitty expert systems, which are literally just flowcharts implemented in procedural code, are considered "AI" -- and historically speaking, they are -- then the bar is really fucking low. LLMs, which at least make an effort to kinda resemble the structure of biological intelligence, are certainly way, way above it.
