Is that what we mean by thinking? Imagine you interact with a program that can answer any question you have, explains itself well, seems perfectly intelligent.

Is that what we mean by thinking?
Imagine you interact with a program that can answer any question you have, explains itself well, seems perfectly intelligent. But then you get to read the source code and it's just petabytes of if/else statements with every question you asked and every other one you can imagine. A practically infinite list. But nothing more complex than that.
Is that program "thinking"?
