That's a rule-based expert system, IIRC. It can make decisions based on its pre-programmed rules and on properly-formatted input, yes, but that's all it does. It can't really be considered "intelligent" in the same way a person can, which is what I assume is the "real thing" that's being referred to here. -- Bira http://compexplicita.wordpress.com http://compexplicita.tumblr.com _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
