I remember when Microsoft made a rudimentary military chatbot to help trick the military higher ups in giving up classified info. It was part of a military project to emulate the T2 (Terminator 2) phone call that involved a dog called Max not Wolfy. Because the chatbot was such a piece a crap that did not fool people, 2 military higher ups were paid to act the part as real. Microsoft got paid!
Fast forward 25 years later and Microsoft has to block their Chat-bots in China because they are being used to scam US consumers. Nothing like being paid twice for crappy work.
