Don't call them chatbots, call them intelligent assistants

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you've no doubt heard about chatbots. However, what's not commonly known is that chatbots have been around for years. What differentiates today's bots is the integration of back-end artificial intelligence, which enables them to do more than simply respond with the basic logic of yesterday. I find that it's important to make distinctions between a bot and today's A.I.-powered intelligent assistants. Chatbots just happen to be conversational.
