I’ve been developing some chat bots recently professionally and, honestly, I don’t get the point of these kinds of projects, especially done by companies like Facebook - sure you could create some text generator based on tokens, but it serves no purpose. Give me a trained bot that can extract specific things in various different ways users express them (without me creating dumb questionnaires), match across thousands of domain specific technical variations of terms, understand voice as well as text... until then it’s all stupid tricks that just show Facebook has too much money to waste.
