    It’s not intelligent because it’s not thinking.

    At least my definition of intelligence is thinking. Otherwise a simple pattern matching algorithm like a regexp is also intelligent, or a sorting algorithm that puts things in the right order.

    But I agree it’s very efficient and has more data than any single person ever could. It’s a computer, they are great at storing and processing information.

      While I mostly agree, I’d like to point out that GOFAI (good old fashioned AI) exists, and at its core it is basically just pathfinding like a* or something similar. And we still call that AI, because it “intelligently” finds a path quickly.

      So my main point is that I agree that it isn’t magic or sapient or anything, but in a sense it is definitely intelligent.
