I really don't care if I'm talking to a person or a robot. Anonymous social interactions that are required to achieve an unrelated goal are a waste of time. I truly believe that my time is not worth talking to a human to set up an appointment that could have been set up in much less time if I could interact with a computer instead, nor is that worth anyone else's time. In many cases, I'm never going to see the person I'm talking to. We won't discuss anything other than the details of the appointment I want to schedule. For all intents and purposes they are no different than a computer to me. I understand why people would want to keep meaningful anonymous social interactions, like conversing with strangers on a bus (or on the internet!), around but I fail to see why anyone cares if we get rid of meaningless ones.
