Here's how your argument seems to be laid out.
1. Something is artificially intelligent if it was created by humans.
2. People are created by humans.
A. By 1 and 2, people are artificially intelligent.
However, you haven't provided any support for premise 1. Your argument seems to rest on an ambiguity of definition.
What is the difference between artificial intelligence versus normal intelligence
Perhaps AI should stand for "Automated Intelligence" so it does not confuse non-programmers so much...

After all, it is the human that is making the artificial intelligent device. Much like how a man and a woman created you. ...
LOL! Maybe you need to get out more. [smile]

Premise 1 = anything created is intelligent, and of course, levels of intelligence varies
OK but that does not mean "Artificially Intelligent".
Also what about bread? I make bread, therefore bread is intelligent?

Yes, but who engineered humans(as opposed to ai-driven comps.)
(It may be easy to prove concepts other than in science tend not to have a clear demarcation line...but we may agree there are also things that fall into one category or the other..bread is definitely not intelligent nowadays)
OTOH we lack the definition for AI(I guess it is a nebula but the main stream is emulating human reactions in as many situations as possible)
The emulation should have ben engineered by another intelligence(except from God, this is debatable;
To explain why is it possible to have a concept hard to define it is easy to just say concept are (mainly) the essence of a group of representants.
e.g. we say inanimate things are dumb, plants are as close as possible in this respect, animals tend to have intelligence, but definitely man posesses it.
and there are degrees by which we measure an item, helpful to further strengthen the concept:e.g.Einstein was a genious as opposed to some retard on the street.
Many other aspects concur(?) to create the concept.The end result is a comprehensible concept, but eludes nevertheless our ability to create a strict definition.(or maybe somewone did make a better job.anyway, think AI as a concept in these terms)
Conclusion we may find a concept hard to define (attempts exists see above) but it is a concept in every respect

Yeah, just not very intelligent

The great programmer
Another fallacy of definition. You can't define something as intelligent but not having any intelligence.
