So lots of effort is spent to collect data, make it machine readable data, distill into a selected set of information (still machine readable?) and then... it is obfuscated again by converting it back into natural language which must be parsed again by humans? What a waste! Couldn't that last step be skipped or put under the user's control? Say, my personal assistant/agent/filter/script could ingest the actual data and act on it on my behalf? Maybe tell me only what is actually relevant for me. Such that I don't have to wade through heaps of fluffy bs all the time.
