I'd like to see opinions before, and after, using a companion robot, or with today's technology a companion chatbot. How do people feel after chatting with a chatbot? How do they feel if abilities of the chatbot are taken away? Do they change how they view bots after using them, and if so do those views become more positive or more negative?

As we've seen with other forms of technology or entertainment the opinion changes with more use. Video games and comic books had major detractors, but are now completely accepted. Will bots experience the same change in public opinion with use? We're not going to have a choice, even with current missteps we're only going to see more bots with more features as time marches on.
