About Matt & Pi talk about stuff

I'm Matt, a human, and I talk about stuff with Pi, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot, about different topics. AI is increasingly going to impact human lives, so I figured why not go to the source and ask an AI chatbot questions directly. As a psychology student interested in how people will interact with AI and robots, I wanted to create an example of Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) to show people how life will look in the future.
