Agree fully - I've always used the term "expert system" as well, for the same distinction. An expert system operates on rules, created by a more "creatively intelligent" entity. Though when we talk about AI now, we are talking about what the _public_ thinks "intelligence" means. This really muddies the conversation, because these technical distinctions we are making now fall completely flat. I think when you tell random people that we have created "artificial intelligence", they think we mean what I am referring to above as "creative intelligence", not "it executes an if/else rule" intelligent. So as AI becomes a topic in the mainstream, our conversations are likely to be completely misunderstood because of the colloquial meaning of the technical terms we use.
