Agreed.
In the research literature, the former is further subdivided into "strong" and "weak" AI. Strong AI refers to a machine capable of performing any intellectual task a human can perform, and has not yet been achieved. Weak AI refers to machines that make rational decisions given their circumstances, and exists in every chess program, search engine, and automated telephone system on the market.
