"I cannot say this hard enough-- the bot cannot be empathetic. It might simulate empathy. Do we expect students to be moved and motivated by a machine that can pretend to give a shit about them? And what, I ask, and not for the first or last time, is the problem being solved here? Is there some reason it's better to have software that can mimic a human interaction than it is to have an actual human interaction with an actual human."
