That's a rule-based expert system, IIRC. It can make decisions based
on its pre-programmed rules and on properly-formatted input, yes, but
that's all it does. It can't really be considered "intelligent" in the
same way a person can, which is what I assume is the "real thing"
that's being referred to here.
