Eh, when words lose functionality they either fall out of use or change meaning.

AI basically means things brains and computers both do, but this is only a useful term when brains do those things better than computers. Usually once computers definitively surpass brains we've moved on to just calling that computing.

Maybe that won't be the case and the term "AI" will either solidify as a broad category, or fall out of use, but it also might continue to refer to that-which-is-left-to-do, the things we're still better at than computers.
