I think you have unreasonable expectations. Back when computers
first started to be used to process things other than projectile
trajectories, people thought we'd be using them in 20 yrs or so
to do real language processing. That was in about 1950 or so.
It hasn't ever happened, because the problem is extremely
difficult. We perceive language processing to be easy, because
we have unperceived hardware assist in our brains. Consider:

"Fruit flies like a banana."

Is "flies" a verb, or a noun?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
