You say that all the chatterbot does is create an illusion of AI, not actual intelligence. But
how can you prove that intelligence is nothing except a very good illusion?

The chatterbots are the closest thing to AI that
we have. The creater of the chatterbot will do
his best to create a bot with what he thinks is
AI so you can't blame him for trying.

A chatterbot that does have AI will be far better
than one without, which is why the botmaster does
try to recreate human thought as best he can.
