Two things. Your tiny url is broken or it may be as intended
and I don't have enough intelligence or information to
know the difference.

I have done quite a bit of AI over the years. The most
important comment anyone has ever made to me about
AI is. We have spent so much effort parsing external
image sources  (text, speech, image) and so little
effort in the extraction of information.

Some of the current AI successes have been brute force.
There is a project at the University of Waterloo on speech
response systems that basically does a lot of brute force
pattern matching in parallel and decides from degree of
matches and context the most likely meaning and responds
appropriately.
