No, problems like "how dirty is this water" do not fall under AI. It's a pretty simple variable of the type software has been dealing with since forever.

Wouldn't you know, AI has also been algorithmically based and around since the 1950s?

AI as a field isn't just neural networks and GPUs invented in the last decade. It includes a lot of stuff we now consider pretty commonplace.
Using some simple variables to measure a few continuous values to make decisions about soap quantity, water to dispense, and the number of rinse cycles is pretty much a text book example of classical AI. Environmental perception and changing actions to maximize the quality of its task outcome.
