Please, Facebook, don't make me speak to your awful chatbots

The future of apps is chatbots, and it's going to be terrible

Have you heard? Apps are dead: chatbots are the new apps. And they will soon be doing everything, from taking your pizza orders to scheduling your meetings. This is the future and it's going to be terrible.

The rise of the chatbot has been foretold for some time but only in the past few weeks with Facebook's Messenger bots, chat app Kik's bot store and the rise of subversive artbots have they really hit the public consciousness.
