I agree, it also does not meet my expectations.

But going devils advocate you could say the training is doing both, in a sense. And if it's allowed to use the web it can also acquire and utilize (hesitant to say understand because it's not the same) new information.

I personally would also expect to save and utilize all information permanently and to have own motivations but that is more sentience and dynamic memory.
