This quote from Joshua Kauffman is a little odd:

“Any time a human needs a relationship and a person isn’t there is an opportunity for a chatbot to fill itself in. I think that when humans are on this planet in some years time, with a lot more technology, we’re going to find that our ultimate purpose is to be having conversations with each other, in addition to creativity and other things. So there’s a lot of conversation that can happen with chatbots and intelligent assistants.”

So humans figure out their ultimate purpose is to talk a lot more with each other? But there isn't going to be enough supply of man hours of conversation - so they just opt for the next best choice - which is talking with chatbots?

Can someone locate the actual video of this event, if it is online? Many of the quotes from this article are all really far-out.
