Is there anything "artificial" about "artificial artificial intelligence"?

Artificial Artificial Intelligence is a term coined by Jeff Bezos for collectively mining our electronic data to provide very intelligent-like responses to questions that are otherwise hard to answer.  It's not exactly AI because it takes our collective human actions into account.  It's been implemented by the Dragon Dictation software people in their iphone version to better their database of human speech-to-text translation (they record which word you choose when you make the ambiguous sounds you make, making their guesses ever-better on average).

I am not convinced that Artificial Artificial Intelligence is other than a new, unfamiliar form of intelligence.  Let us suppose that in the future, everyone in the world is on the internet with at least DSL speeds.  In this case, there is a sense in which everything we store on a computer represents all of our collective knowledge.

And so, with access to all of our comments, all of our search-correlation patterns, etc, and with sufficient processing speed, I do not understand what makes google different from something needing to be called Mr. Google.  It reads my mind literally as I write.

What could be more human than to try to answer all human queries?
