It's been designed cleverly enough to essentially fake a Turing test, at least to a first approximation. But there's no consciousness, which is what intelligence depends upon, I think. This is not say it's not useful for some purposes, especially those requiring massive computational resources, such as protein analysis.

Until it can really think on its own, it's not intelligence in my book, and even mentioning the word to describe it makes it seem so much more than it really is.
