Even with artificial intelligence whose purpose is to adapt with interference, there is no meaning, no expression. Some things a computer does do better. At work I create programs that allow information to be entered into computer without human error or misunderstanding. This, in a way, goes back to your meaning discussion. Yes, the computer only allowed them to enter what I allowed the computer to accept, But at least that data is correct and when looked at by someone else, it will now have meaning, and hopefully they will use the meaning correctly.
Any person can find meaning in information.
They may use it correctly or incorrectly. The may get the meaning or not. But the facts and figures or information never lie.
