Are the chatbot fading away?

Once upon a time, there were chatbots. When they first appeared, they were a new and fancy interface for users, offering a novel way to interact with software.

They were so useful that they spread rapidly. Even developers began to specialize in chatbot programming.

However, with the unveiling of ChatGPT and the emergence of new AI-powered services, chatbots seem to have lost their allure. When you return to them after working with GPT or other AI tools, you feel a noticeable gap.

It's a bit disheartening because chatbots are still very useful in many contexts.

As someone with limited experience in this field, I wonder if a new generation of these little friends, now powered with AI, is on the horizon.

What are your thoughts about it?
