With a few more logic gates it could look up the definition on wikipedia 
and read it out to you. An animal can't explain any words though. Which 
is more intelligent?

Your brain gets inputs and stores them, and then when it is required to 
make a decision it utilises the past inputs to make a decision. If that 
process can be called "choosing", then it seems to me like other animals 
and machines can also "choose". What's the difference?
