Can you call a computer smart?

[TrueElements]

I mean we gave a computer everything it knows right??
But at times we use it to find information we lack.
It can even solve problems we cant, but who is to think, the people who taught it or the computer itself?

define smart

A computer is not "smart" it just does what it is told to do through binary code. The intelligence comes from the programmers who make the operating system for the computer.

Edit: Not really from the programmers of the operating system, more so the people who created the language in which the operating system was programmed in. With C++, you can make the system do anything as long as you have the skill to make it do so. With a language I guess you could make a computer have artificial intelligence, but not mental alertness.

Thus the programmer's tedious fatalistic pain in coding brilliance went unrecognized by the general population.

I would not call a computer smart.

Without Internet/Calculator, software, your PC wont be able to calculate what 1+1 is right?

It's the language that programmers gave them that makes computers calculate it.

Imagine a PC with no operating system, would that be considered smart?

I mean without it it still is a computer, but it does not have what programmers gave to it.
