Primitive software chatbots emerged in the 1960s, evolving swiftly through the decades and becoming able to provide engaging human-to-computer interactions sometime in the 1990s. Today, conversational technology is ubiquitous in many homes. Paired with web-searching abilities and neural networking, modern chatbots are capable of many tasks and are a major driving force behind machine learning and the quest for strong artificial intelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Sophisticated artificial intelligence is changing the online world as advanced software chatbots can provide customer service, research duties, and assist in healthcare. Modern chatbots have indeed numerous applications -- including those of a malicious nature. They can write our essays, conduct autonomous scams, and potentially influence politics.
The Book of Chatbots is both a retrospective and a review of current artificial intelligence-driven conversational solutions. It explores their appeal to businesses and individuals as well as their greater social aspects, including the impact on academia. The book explains all relevant concepts for readers with no previous knowledge in these topics. Unearthing the secrets of virtual assistants such as the (in)famous ChatGPT and many other exciting technologies, The Book of Chatbots is meant for anyone interested in the topic, laypeople and IT-enthusiasts alike.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
原始的軟體聊天機器人在1960年代出現，經過數十年的快速演進，於1990年代開始能夠提供引人入勝的人機互動。如今，對話技術在許多家庭中無所不在。結合網路搜索能力和神經網絡，現代聊天機器人能夠執行多項任務，並成為機器學習和追求強人工智慧（也稱為人工通用智能）的主要推動力。
先進的人工智慧正在改變線上世界，因為高級軟體聊天機器人能夠提供客戶服務、研究職責和協助醫療。現代聊天機器人確實有眾多應用，包括那些具有惡意性質的應用。它們可以代替我們寫文章、進行自主詐騙，並有可能影響政治。
