I did not say our Neural database was intelligent but that it had a greater
claim to intelligence because it allows complex applications to be created
without, most of the time, the need to code or generate any new programs. 
I was comparing it with a product that did claim to be intelligent yet
still required new programs to be created.

Although the industry uses the term "artificial intelligence" and those of
us who work in this field are compelled to go along with it, I often say
that until we can define the meaning of the word intelligence, we cannot
properly describe something else as an artificial version of something that
we do not fully understand.
