AI is not only capable of definitions. In fact... You wouldn't use it for that. But It's terribly good at context. So it can interpret a whole phrase, or paragraph. Maybe calibre even passes the book metadata so it can infer characters, places and broader context.
Yeah, that won't really be doable just by an extended dictionary.
I myself tend to use Google sometimes, to look for stuff like "one word for the phrase ..." and most of the times the AI is the one giving the answer.
