I used crack before [1]. I seem to recall it being able to apply regexps or simple transformations on wordlists[2]. E.g. wordlist entry 'sillyme' could potentially generate 'SiLLyMe' or even d00d-speak '5i11yM3'. Wordlists in many different languages can be found online as well.Sounds hefty to me... the AI alone I think would eat up 80% of the CPU's cycles. And at the same time, (human) language is very flexible-- I seriously doubt an AI can be written to cope with it. (Heck, natural language interpreters are pretty difficult to write, what more the creation of words?)
http://www.users.dircon.co.uk/~crypto/ seems to be the crack webpage.

[1] I meant the software. Really.
[2] Or if it didn't, it should have. It would be a nice feature.
