The idea with artificial intelligence (AI) applications is for you to teach it how to respond.

So if your going to approach it with a complex question expect it to be confused - the idea is to emulate learning and judgement in its response.

Ask the same questions to a three year old and you will probably get the response your getting - however discuss it in a manner it can learn and you will probably get much better responses.

AI is quite good nowadays, I studied it a little on my Masters - processing power is way short of the human brain but the logic is quite accurate. However the biggest downfall is that emotions have not been discovered how to be quantified. Trying to replicate the gut feeling that goes against logic but is correct has not been quantified and thus cannot be included.

If interested I can point you to online learning materials for AI - its confusing but very worthwhile to read.
