For the last years of my dad a chat robot would have been a godsend. He had increasing dementia and the last years you had basically the same conversation every ten minutes. It’s really hard to stay nice and play along when this goes on for months and longer. It would have been a great relief for my mom and the rest of the family if he had been able to have these conversations with an always patient and cheerful robot.
