We've had a better alternative to "chatbots" for a long time, it's called a command line. All of this obsession over "natural language processing" is annoying to me. I have a Google home, and it can't do even the most basic things and struggles to understand whenever I tell it to do something. It would be nice if I could just talk to my Google home as if it was a command line, with very explicit and specific commands that do powerful things. "Google take a note. Do the laundry." "Google play spotify on the living room speaker" etc. Instead the interface is an unhelpful mess that doesn't know how to help me get it to do what I want. I feel that it is the same with chatbots. Stop trying to process natural language, and give me a command prompt with good documentation and user on-boarding.
