I appreciate that everyone is different but, for me, one of the best facets of the Internet is that it lets me meet and talk with people.

IRC, forums, chat rooms, XMPP and other instant messaging, email, social media, voice/video chatting, and more.

I've had the pleasure - genuinely so - of chatting with goodness knows how many people, over many years now.

"Conversing" with a chatbot doesn't hold any attraction to me.
