I always thought "intelligence" was defined as the capacity to learn. Websters' first definition of "intelligence":

> capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.

seems to partially bear that out.

Its not clear what definition Microsoft is using, but I don't see any real learning going on here. These models are painstakingly hand-trained by lots of humans over a significant period of time. The model itself is not "learning" anything, the humans are.
