I've Been toying with ai chatbots since 2019, and I think the lack of memory is the big improvement chatbots need. It's the big thing that makes conversations and stories flow.
Anything that doesn't have a preconditioned flow just keeps going over the place.
The exception is adult content because... well text based stuff of that nature is always a little the same
...

Oh the possibilities ! The bots chatting with each other. Hilarious video.

[steveg]

3:11 Hey AI, teach me to start a Fire without a lighter, the hard way. <Comedy ensues>

[guardshack]

You hit the nail on the head. When A.I. "gets" humor, and can makes us laugh (or at least snort). The relationship will change dramatically.
