I would posit (being a machine learning guy myself to some
extent, although not natural language) that it's only an
interesting problem up to a point. We have humans for
understanding humans! The really interesting thing is when the
computer can do something that is actually impossible for humans.
The counterargument is of course that although a human can
understand 1 human very well, they're not so good at
understanding a million humans a second, even very crudely (e.g.
google search)
