My dog lives with cats; she doesn't bark at them - she does bark if anyone comes down the driveway that doesn't live here.
Having said that, isn't natural language intriguing? "We all love dogs" - nice sentence, but the opposite is what is actually meant. Do you think AI will ever be able to understand these nuances?

What you're talking about is sarcasm. There's a number of articles out there discussing how AI can be made to understand it. But I guess the bottom line is - "yeah, but it's hard".

Personally, I prefer the "watch cat" over the watch dog.
When your pet tiger here's a noise, it doesn't make any of its own. Just patiently waits. If the burglar breaks in - their might be a muffled scream; some clean-up; and a short term reduction in your feeding bill.
Win Win if ever there was one.

Just wait until you have a female cat and the loverboys come from everywhere in the area to sing a sonata under your window.

As if that would stop the loverboys from coming, some may not even have owners.
In our case the story ended well. It turned out that the loverboy recently became homeless and our cat felt lonely. She had attacked every cat before and after him, but he was right. She let him in and eventually we had two cats that kept everything else away from the house, including dogs.

Been there. I had two suitor cats get in a big fight in the back yard one night. My cat was freaked out for a couple of days after that. It was a pain.

I just got the following very useful error from Windows.
Service 'MyService (MyService)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service MyService on computer '.'.
Upon further investigation it seems I don't have the proper credentials to start the service.
So I guess "Cannot start service..." is pretty accurate, because I cannot

Yep - I've had that. They ought to replace to with "Just because shut up that's why!"

Need help? Here's a tip: skip straight to the end and reinstall windows.
you could send all sorts of logs to the help desk and on their suggestion do the "sfc/scannow" and other useless things, but when has that ever helped
- scroll down almost any windows bug forum, nearly always ends with "try reinstalling windows"
(too often followed a bit later with a reply from the OP: "thanks - that worked" - FFS)
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

Why don't error messages look like this:

It just means they don't have enough try catches. Everyone has code like that.

I can safely deduct from this that you have never ever done any iOS programming.
Try that and then you will see catch all messages like there is no tomorrow.

Best one today, "An error has occured." when navigating to an internal website.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Opening VS after 2 months off - "unspecified error" - no effect on the system and is has disappeared today.

When I get to see user prompts like that it really makes me feel someone's stuck on the stone age of web development.
I'm not sure, I could be wrong. Do we still limit user from entering special characters? If yes, for what reason someone should be blocking these innocent characters? - * +, - & _ etc.
I was painstakingly writing a product review in detail. At the end when I clicked on Submit button,
it says "Please avoid using special characters". As if it's just a ignorable warning. It jus didn't let me submit till I removed the last quote symbol. How weird this is.
I thought it's just about removing angle brackets (HTML Tags). But I had to remove even quotation marks,:, ; ,-, + , &,/,\ everything.
Is there a sane reason behind this restriction? (I remember me restricting people entering "<>" tags in input box when I tried my very first classic Asp page )

Well, filenames can't have certain characters, so in some cases, telling the user that is okay, in my eyes.
