> it's the one on one relationships with history that will make them different than the bots that came before
Is this intentional ignorance? The reason I use Facebook as the analogy is because Facebook has an insane amount of your history, and isn't afraid to sell any single aspect of that to advertisers. The interface some chatbot-controlling megacorp would expose to propagandists would hardly be different, the history is unlikely to be much stronger, and the network effect seems hard to match. Less a step-change than an iteration.
