>More than that, I think NLP will unlock new ways of interacting with computers. Computers will be able to handle the ambiguity of human language, transcending their rigid “only do exactly what you tell them” models of the world. As exciting as this sounds, I can't help but feel that given -we- haven't figured out how to handle the ambiguity of human language, I'm not convinced a computer attempting to is really markedly better for many use cases than requiring exactness. But operating at a human level of 'understanding', and being broadly accessible, may be enough to change the world. Hopefully for the better.
