Well, yes, but that's not a very useful distinction. You train computers as well by programming them. In meatspace, there was a famous experiment in the '60s where kittens had their heads locked into position so that they only saw vertical lines - their nascent neuroplastic brains then trained that way, and as they matured, they simply couldn't see horizontal lines (eg: would walk into horizontal bars). In the Nature vs Nurture debate, the purists on either side tend to use tortured, hair-splitting definitions to make their arguments, and it's usually those somewhere in the middle that sound the sanest.
