Less useful for what?  I guess if you are some logical purist that needs 
everything to fit neatly into strict categories, then you might find language 
less and less useful over time, as it expands and connects with everything 
else. 

But if one is trying to connect with everything else, the richness of language 
s it's he's feature.  Ambiguity leads to poetic resonances that make life more 
meaningful, not less.  I'd say that sounds pretty darn useful to me!
