Think you can tell a human from a robot? Here are some of the smartest chatbots that have conversations

If you've ever reached out to a company via email, direct message, or a phone call, you've probably been met with some type of chatbot service. Across a range of industries, companies are leveraging chatbot offerings to enhance customer service and reduce costs. As younger generations demonstrate an increasing desire for quick and efficient 24/7 service, the opportunity for chatbots continues to grow. The chatbot market size is projected to jump from $2.6 billion in 2019 to $9.4 billion by 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.7%. And although the chatbot market is being tapped primarily by major companies and businesses, individuals have also started looking to chatbots as a means of engaging in alternative social interactions and everyday conversations.
