The sentence you're referring to is not a definition of AI, but rather it's most suitable intent. If you have truly deterministic systems, you don't need any sort of intelligence, other than the intelligence of the human that put together the system. The machine is simply executing the intelligence of the human and not providing any of its own or adding to the picture, other than providing leverage by means of automation. Waffle irons aren't intelligent, even tho they automate the process of making waffles. If your definition of intelligence renders the machine to be simply an executor of intelligence from humans, then that's not particularly useful and then you might as well just say "computing" whenever you say AI. I tend to believe that AI is best suited to solve problems that can't be easily solved with deterministic, programming approaches. Machines can be trained to provide value on the logic and decision-making side rather than just on the decision-executing side.
