It’s not “popular” organically, it’s being forced on us by people who are invested in the technology. The chatbots are being shoved into everything because they want to make them profitable despite being money holes, not because people want it.

The chatbots are not profitable. They’ll need to charge way more for usage at some point to actually make money; at some point investors are going to demand returns on their investments, and that’s going to come out of user’s pockets.

Even more of a reason it won’t happen. “All the capitalists have to do is stop caring about money”. Yeah ok.
