That is (very limited) intelligence imo. It's nothing more than a very complex, ever increasing set of procedures plus a huge amount of data and a fast processor. I mean, the more you know about something, the less "magic" it seems. You know algorithms, the author may not. Pretty sure someone from the 1700's would think a smartphone with some personal assistant software on it was intelligent (even if possessed), for example.
