A BIG DIFFERENCE BetweenPeople and Computers

• People are very good at:

  • Resolving ambiguity
  • Taking context into account

• Computers are not very good at:

  • Resolving ambiguity
  • Inferring “right” interpretations based on context
  • 
    Thus if we want to tell a computer what to
    do, we must do so precisely and unambiguously.
