alt Hacker NewsHe did say "sometimes Einstein is on the other end, and sometimes it's a drunken child. You have no idea when you pick up the phone which way its going to go.", so I think that's still a valid thing for him to complain about.

Yes, to put a point on it -
How many dollars per month would someone be willing to spend for a chatbot that has a 3rd graders ability at math? Personally, $0 for me.
But what if it's a PHD Math degrees ability at math? Tons, in some applications it could be worth $100s or $1000s in an enterprise license setting.
But what if it's unpredictably, imperceptibly question to question, 95% PHD and 5% 3rd grader? Again, for me - $0. (not 95% of $1000s, but truly, $0)
