   Again, that only speaks to how you think about chatbots.  Personally, every   
   time I’ve tried a “modern” one out, the responses always made it look   
   *dumber* than Eliza, because it came across as trying to look smarter than   
   it really was.  Like a kid bullshitting their way through a book report by   
   using bigger words than they really understood.  I’ll grant you that it   
   *is* a much more sophisticated con job, but realize that the output is   
   still 100% “hallucinations” unless *you* know otherwise.
