I have often wondered whether the reason why 'AI' has struggled with human language is because most programs are not embodied. If you cannot jump when you hear the word joy, and cannot cry when you hear the word death and feel the other sensations that go with them, you cannot truly understand the word. The lack of additional visual cues and context will continue to severely hamper the ability for machines to correctly understand the semantics of human language. I know the language guys like to work with their strings of characters, but humans can only communicate with those because we have already built our semantic framework by being active agents in the world.
