Uh, not these guys again. The idea of a giant databases to "mimic a conscious, thinking, feeling human being!" is, at best, a massive database of non-sequitor statements. IMO, I don't think it matters how many random facts it contains. This application isn't even close to AI. The only possible use I can see for this is to marketing or advertising agencies as a "chatbot".
Chatbot: If you are connected to an instant messenger, a chatbot starts a conversation with you. As the bot profiles your responses it will make a suggestion like "...oh, you might like this..." and then it links you to the homepage of whatever the topic of conversation is about. I haven't seen one of those since 2003. And I'm convinced Singh and McKinstry were behind that evilness.
