With all the hype towards chatbots, I still haven't come across a chatbot I can say was really useful to me or was really fun to use.<p>PS: I don't consider the "type 1 for x, type 2 for
y" bots as conversational bots<p>Have you come across any truly conversational chatbots that you really enjoyed engaging with?<p>What was your experience like?<p>Discussion on twitter: https://twitter.com/codezed_/status/1302564268240297984
They are a good example of the underlining scams in IT and the delusions of the programmers within.<p>No, they all are fake. Have never existed, will never exist.<p>People love them because a good chatbot that can tell us which washing machine to buy, means we have general AI!<p>Which everyone wants. Of course once we have general AI we won't want chatbots, we only ever wanted chatbots for their AI.<p>Great to demo and excite people to get money out of them though.
