People talk in ambiguities. They use the wrong words. They leave things out, realizing that other people would understand the gist and 'know what you mean'.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#000000">Changing ourselves and the way we talk might be harder, might be easier, than trying to program the AI to understand flawed speech.
