>I admit that the title of this essay is a bit misleading (made you click though, didn’t it?). This isn’t really a case against conversational interfaces, it’s a case against zero-sum thinking.

No matter the intention or quality of the article, i do not like this kind of deceitful link-bait article. It may have higher quality than pure link-bait but nobody like to be deceived

I simply saw that as tongue in cheek about how the author wanted to use a more general core point. The lens of conversational interfaces makes a good case for that while keeping true to the idea.

You can argue against something but also not think it's 100% useless.

I did not find the article to be deceitful at all. He does make a case against overuse of conversational interfaces. The author is just humbly acknowledging his position is more nuanced than the title of article might suggest.

"Humbly"? The author has full control over the title, and in addition to being bait, the title is not humble at all.

Not a case against, but the case against.
