»Artificial intelligence and the words 'and' and 'or'«


I can't get it out of my head, that (should artificial intelligence be once developed) the words "and" and "or" are used differently by humans than what they mean.

Examples:
Question: "Will we go to the cinema today or will we stay home?"
Human answer: "Let's go watch a movie"
Correct/AI answer: "Yes" (Yes, we will stay home OR go to the movies)

Question: "Give me 2 examples of illegal behavior"
Human answer: "To rape someone and to murder someone"
AI answer: "To rape someone OR to murder someone"

Mathematically spoken the human answer gives only 1 example.


I think this different use of the words "and"/"or" can lead to confusion when we talk to robots...

Language in general is a big barrier between us and computers. Human languages suffer in translation.
