Unlike previous technologies, chatbots know what users think at the most intimate level. Chatbots know, but currently cannot make sense of this knowledge. The near term goal, I believe, is to build simple, but accurate models of the users psyche to serve them ads better. Instead of crude labels like "user 456 loves cars", corpos will have a compact psyche model of that user that will predict his reactions with 95% accuracy. This model will know that user better than he knows himself. And for a brief moment in history, while AI is good enough to predict us, but not replace us, the adtech corpos will make bank.
