Re: questions about very large AIML KBs.

Yes a simple utility could pause after each paragraph break; the hard
part is the search utility finding the best context fit to the question.
Last year a new product called "Biomes" (check spelling) is a
programmable search agent with several filtering capabilities, such as
sources the user considers reliable.  Initial release was AIM
compatible.
I believe it tries to produce plain English results, or web links,
depending on your configuration.   Ask.com is also working on plain
English responses to questions.   The distinctions between search
engine, expert system, and chatbot will soon begin to blur.   Commercial
interest in chatbots is increasing.   Good context mapping will require
human intervention for now. So at a minimum, an AIML or other hybrid KB
matrix will be required for a world knowledge base.

You really would not need to convert Wiki to AIML. You could just create
a bit of software that would return the first paragraph or so of each
entry and then ask if the user wanted to know more.

There are many text-based encyclopedias.

A knowledge of current events such as weather and sports would be nice
too.

There is the 'superbot' AIML data base on the Alice website.  It has
responses to the 10,000 most commonly asked questions.  A true world
knowledge base in AIML many not exist yet; though several universities
are working on it.   To be truly comprehensive it will need millions of
entries.
With very large databases there is a problem with granularity, how much
detail is correct for a given subject?  The AI gets confused.  I think I
heard a group is working to convert the Wikipedia to AIML.   Progress is
being made on other fronts as well.   A number of independent
programmers are creating utilities to convert text FAQ and Q&A scripts
to AIML in an automated batch fashion. I believe there is even a web
crawler to AIML search utility in development.  This will be really cool
as the AI will learn new facts every time a novel question is asked.
Several of these already exist, but you have to pay for the software.
Comments & enhancements welcome.   Sorry I do not recall specific
products.
