Ugh, why do I get myself into these discussions. A plot hole is a more generalized term than you may realize and is not limited to internal inconsistencies/contradictions. Yes, that is one kind of plot hole, but that is not the sole definition of a plot hole.

You seem to surmise that if the screenwriter creates a plot in the movie intentionally, than it cannot be a plot hole. But that is not necessarily true. For example, the popular Deus Ex Machina references are a type of plot hole that are often intentionally created by the screenwriter.

The core definition of a plot hole is something that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot. This can manifest itself many different ways, and is not limited to internal contradictions in the established plot, but also include if anything within the established plot seems illogical, especially compared to the rest of the established plot.

Yes, some declared plot holes can be a bit subjective, but if you want to argue my claim that it's a plot hole, your response should be more along the lines of "It's perfectly logical for nobody to have created A.I. children because...." instead of "that's not what a plot hole is!"
