Parse, observe, analyze, process, interpret - semantics. Your brain performs all the same functions when you play a game - a parser just interprets/observes/analyzes/processes data and re-presents it to you in a fashion that is more useful or more understandable.

If you've got a program automatically executing commands it's not a parser anymore it's a bot. It's replacing the brain and body behind the keyboard/controller.

A parser as defined by most games they've been used in present reinterpreted data to the user - nothing more.
