Kind of like saying that ChatGPT is people adding an AI player to the deterministic program of a chat

Except ChatGPT was written from scratch, so not at all like that

Tic-tac-toe is a classical example problem for neural networks 101, kind of a “hello world”

Doesn’t change that that isn’t how it was implemented to begin with. In your search results there are even people on Reddit asking how to add an AI player to their existing game. Seems like you gave me search results without even looking at them.

It still is

A deterministic program, yes

Plenty of examples out there

You found plenty of examples of people adding an AI player to the game. The game itself is still a deterministic program.

Wrong maths, you say?

Yes. If I want to know what 1+2 equals, and I throw a dice, there’s a chance I will get the correct answer. If I do, that doesn’t mean it knows how to do Maths. Also, notice where it said “Here’s the calculation”, it didn’t actually show you the calculation? e.g. long multiplication, or even grouping, or the way the Chinese do it. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Even if AI manages to randomly get a correct answer here and there, it still doesn’t know how to do Maths (which includes not knowing how to count to begin with)

a tic-tac-toe machine was “AI”.

No it wasn’t. It was (and is) a deterministic program. AI isn’t.
