Right, but it's still just pre programmed with millions of facts, and designed to use key words and their position within a sentence, to deduce through thousands of possibilities, what it thinks is the correct answer. While it's immensely impressive, it still really isn't demonstrating human intelligence, just mimicking it in a very realistic manner. If I remember correctly it's also using logic to correct it's self after incorrect answers.
I still, think it's a LONG way until computer are out doing humans, in a real 'threatening' way.
