The solution is to operate with more than one type of lookup table, sort
of a super thesaurus/dictionary. One table for definitions, one for
synonyms, one for antonyms, slang, plus grammatical logic, as well as a
mathematics/english translator (which can for example extract data and
operators from a paragraph structure for actual calculation).
Given this, one such AI could even deal with new information by
analysing it and analogizing it to existing knowledge.
