No, the problem is that the human programmers are the ones doing the learning. That's not artificial intelligence, that's just regular human learning.
The algorithm is: identify pixels that are chromatically different from the surrounding pixels. And that's it. That's not AI, that's an algorithm. Any changes come from the human programmers manually changing the algorithm, not from any self-increased capabilities acquired through machine learning, etc.
A lot of people do class rule based systems under the umbrella of AI, when I was a kid, I'd run Alicebot on my pocket computer. Definitely "artificial" "intelligence" and well before any of this modern fancy machine learning stuff! Definitely lots of human work. People have different ways of understanding words and AI is a term that is not well defined, to say the least.
