Funnily enough robots throughout #SciFi were often portrayed as incredibly good at maths, logic and deduction, but utterly incomplete and incompetent with language, subtext and emotions since they "lack a soul".
Think Data from #StarTrek or the countless unfeeling supercomputers from #ScienceFiction.
While in reality, language, subtext and emotions are about the only things that "AI" can accurately work with, while getting it to say truths, know facts and perform logic is the hard part.
