>> I imagine we'll probably develop some AI pidgin language that provides more formality that as long as we follow it AI voice interactions become less annoying (but you have to spend a bit of time before to formulate it).
That's what Roger Schank is advocating against in his article: artificial intelligence that makes humans think like computers, rather than computers that think like humans.
Personally, I think it's a terrible idea and the path to becoming like the Borg: a species of people who "enhanced" themselves until they lost everything that made them people.
Also: people may get stuff wrong a lot of the time (way more than 10%). But, you can always make a human understand what you mean with enough effort. Not so with a "computer" (i.e. an NLP system). Currently, if a computer can't process an utterance, trying to explain it will confuse it even further.
