[Dprglist] AI in natural language, self-driving cars, etc.

[ed at okerson.com]

Hey David,

Do most of us really ever master it? As my father always says, "English 
is the only foreign language I know". Having lived in other countries, 
namely Japan and Finland, I can tell you mastering another language is 
anything but easy. As no human language is the natural language of 
silicon based AI, I can imagine the difficulty it has. I still assert 
that most humans have not really "mastered" any language. They may have 
learned enough to get by, but that is far from mastery.
