I thought before writing "always". But I do think it will be difficult for the foreseeable future, because as @Grue3 already pointed out, it's ambiguous even to humans.
The central problem of getting a machine to understand metaphor, irony and the like is going to be Hard by any definition.
- jmmcd 10y agoBeing ambiguous to humans doesn't make it an ill-defined task. A machine which perfectly mimicked the judgements of just one human would be doing pretty well, well enough that we couldn't justify saying "judging emotion is a big problem for AI" unless we said the same thing about humans. Having said that, I agree that it seems a hard problem for the foreseeable future.
