Not really an equivalent to AI in my opinion. Unless you would also contend that controlling subject movement with shutter speed, and depth of field with aperture are also equivalent artificial manipulations. I do agree though, that there is not a tight definition on this and the edges are blurred but in my opinion, AI is very different.
Moose Peterson had an interview with Tony and Chelsea Northrup some time ago where he contended that he never touched any of his in mages in post but that they all came from camera exactly as they were to be used by his clients and therefore had an immaculate authenticity. To be fair to him, his context was one of scientific accuracy but nonetheless, it proved to be a painful (and very funny) experience to watch and he did not come out of it well in my opinion. That is an extreme position with which I would not wish to be associated!
