Too much "A", not enough "I" --- as always. Any appearance of "intelligence" is largely derived from the application of two processes: 1) statistical analysis of huge amounts of training data or 2) trial and error feedback. There are some applications for this sort of thing but real cognition and insight and understanding are severely limited. In my opinion, a more accurate description for it would be a "suggestion engine". Any truth or insight or practicality embodied in the nicely worded "suggestions" is left for the user to determine. For example, accept any "suggestion" made to cure the common cold at your own risk. Otherwise, a cold may become the least of your worries.
