Wiz is an AI in the weak sense. His programming is focused on particular narrow tasks. That is also what prevents him from moving towards true sentience. Wiz can learn, but only along the lines of his ability to rap and his ability to correctly parse and answer specific inputs. He lacks any programming for self-awareness or consciousness, and his program will continue to follow the same basic rules even as new information is set down to improve his skill in obeying those rules. He lacks both the code and the processing power to make the jump to a strong AI.
[Which. Well, he didn't miss that comment on being like a child. He has to reply to it.] Sorry to let you down, Rose. Roxy and I agreed on one boy and one girl.
