I don't see how this is faking semantics. They are taking semantically
tagged data and answering questions with it. That is as close as AI
will get for a long time to semantics. The "Semantic Mediawiki" does
exactly this, although they do it in a more clunky, hard to use manner
where you enter fact-relationships in-text.
