"Rather than consistently embracing humanness, we can accept that there may be fundamental limits, both technological and philosophical, to the types of interactions we can and want to have with machines. We should be inspired by human conversations rather than using them as a perceived gold standard for interaction. For instance, looking at these systems as performers rather than human-like conversationalists, may be one way to help to create more engaging and expressive interfaces. Incorporating specific elements of conversation may be necessary for some contexts, but we need to think about whether human-like conversational interaction is necessary, rather than using it as a default design goal." "Making systems that do not have the ability to converse like a human sound human may do far more harm than good."

"Pillo Health's lead product is the eponymous Pillo, a countertop artificial intelligence device that uses voice to engage users and remind them to take medications. Designed for older patients with chronic diseases or complex care plans, the tool can store, dispense and reorder up to 28 doses of medication on a pre-set schedule. In addition, Pillo can deliver audio- or video-based health content and facilitate video calls between patients and their caregivers, while allowing the latter to monitor adherence data generated from the device."
