I haven’t yet heard of a chat bot that could pass the Turing Test. I know there’s a substantial prize offered. But even if we were as close as you say, tech service jobs won’t be replaced by chat bots. They’ve already been made irrelevant by YouTube. If you have a problem with your device, you don’t call the manufacturer. You find some thirteen-year-old kid in India who has made a video about your fix. He might even answer direct questions. Open Source, the collective intelligence of us all, is the future.
