I definitely agree with you on this. I think somewhere in the middle-ground is perfect, obviously. I think I should be able to ask your chatbot how their day is going, but I don't think I should be able to shitpost with it for 3 hours. The reason I bring up Chatbot is because they seemed to at least have the conversational part figured out. Also, Siri is really not such a part of this conversation because it is honestly the only chatbot that I can think of that accomplishes a portion of what we're talking about here.

Siri can't even tell jokes, while Cortana is capable of telling jokes, singing, and much more. These little things - even though programmed by some other person - can spice things up and make the bot look even more natural. Go home Siri.

  The other day, (French) Siri replied to "What are you doing this evening?" with "I'm playing hide-and-seek with Markov models".

    This would have been a perfect example for the event domain I proposed to Apple. But they don't want it.

    When I set a short timer the answer sometimes is something like: "Make sure you don't overcook that egg" or "The suspense is killing me".

  Cortana's novelty functions are cute and make good advertising, but they're not really relevant to the quality of the service. In practice, you'll use them a couple of times, chuckle, and then never think about them again.
