strictly speaking, geth are AI (before reaper upgrades) only in numbers and only when networked. they're labeled "AIs" for convenience in-universe and out much like the shep VI says "bullets" instead of "five detachable heat sinks".

individually, each geth program is equivalent to VI. reiterated many times throughout the games. if not networked enough geth are little more than VI. or varren as tali puts it.

on the images thing, try getting pointers from milkman (and this is not some indirect attempt at getting more people to use images i uploaded, nooope) :>
