What Do You Love About NLP?

NLP appears as something strange to me. On one hand, it seems you'd need to value/enjoy interpersonal communication more than any other computer scientist. On the other hand, a significant portion of the work involves solitary coding sessions. Additionally, the text NLP currently handles is far simpler than everyday conversations. So, why would those who enjoy human interaction be drawn to NLP?
