I don’t like that people are embracing having a habitually lying robot think for them instead of human interaction. But the nail in the coffin for me was when I found out how much water it uses and saw the real world affects to ppl living near data centers. It’s abhorrent
I use it to create several in-class activities for various topics in my courses. I specify the size of participant group, level of education, level of engagement, length of time, etc. It remembers my parameters though so I don't have to type those each time, just updates subject matter.
Because I’m just not interested. What is the benefit to me for using a chatbot that I couldn’t just do myself? I write long legal memos for a living and I’m a bad typist so spellcheck benefits me. What would be the benefit of a chatbot to me that my own research couldn’t find?

It was like having a motivated but ignorant intern whose entire knowledge of how the world works came from binge watching the Real World marathons.
I mean, to me, this is like saying you're never going to use a spell checker. Never, nope, just not gonna happen.
So do web sites.
So does spellcheck.
So, why not “I won’t use chatbots until the error rate is acceptable?”
It’s trading accuracy (in both cases) for speed.
