Even an proficient English speaker can be mislead

I don't think so.

A human would understand context. AI isn't supposed to be simple string matching.

Really? Take anyone that has no clue who Paris Hilton is and without implying what you mean by "Paris Hilton" ask them something about Paris Hilton.

There's a difference between "Paris Hilton" and "The Paris Hilton." "Paris" isn't a completely unheardof first name. Again, a human capable of working with context will understand that, as should a proper AI. Simple string matching won't.

Also, there is no "Paris Hilton" hotel. There is Hilton Paris Opera, Hilton Paris La Defense, and Hilton Paris De Gaulle.
