Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have led to the introduction of chatbots that can perform conversations that are as advanced as humans, and some companies have applied them to customer service. Such a chatbot already has the same level of sales power as a human being, and a survey result was announced that, in some cases, it showed four times the sales of a human.

Chatbots that automatically handle conversations are also called “ artificial brainless ” and have been clearly distinguished from AI.

Humans change their work performance depending on their physical condition and spirit, but AI does not. Also, because labor costs can be saved and costs can be kept low, some service companies such as Domino Pizza and American Eagle Outfitters use chatbots to deal with customers.

Research teams such as Professor Xueming Luo of Temple University compared the sales of over 6,200 financial service company customers when they had conversations with inexperienced human employees on a chatbot.

Then, if the customer doesn't know if the corresponding partner is a human or a chatbot, it turns out that the chatbot had sales four times that of a human. In addition, the sales of chatbots were almost the same as the sales of skilled employees.

However, if the customer clearly indicated that it was a chatbot before the conversation, it turned out that sales from the chatbot fell by more than 79.7%. At the same time, we found that the conversation time with the chatbot was very short.

About this result, Prof. Luo speculates that `` If the customer knows that the conversation partner is not a human being, the chatbot knows nothing and thinks that the empathy is low, so he will refrain from purchasing the product. '' The
