Heya! This isnt true. You are correct that about the broad strokes but there are plenty of examples where this isn't the case. Expert Systems are a very popular form of ai which can be made of only if else statements.

represented mainly as if–then rules rather than through conventional procedural code.

Expert systems were among the first truly successful forms of artificial intelligence (AI) software.

Yeahhhh... As another commentator said, I was redefining AI, when it had been defined decades ago.... Whoops 😓

Also, thanks for linking Expert Systems! I clearly have a lot of interesting stuff to learn about in AI.

One of today's lucky 10,000! There are 9,999 others who are just finding out about the concept of "Expert Systems." 9,998 if you exclude me.
