The term 'chatbot' has become hopelessly conflated with LLMs in only the last two years, but they're not the only 'chatbot' frameworks in town. Nor are they even properly chatbots in the sense that they can do real dialogue management, slot filling, intent classification, and reliable API calling. An actual chatbot framework like dialogflow or rasa would be more appropriate here. Even if the conversations feel more artificial, you have drastically more control over the flow of the conversation and the content of the responses. It's pitiful. The collective amnesia this community has.
