I hate chat-bots because they are worse than Call Center people, who
lacking domain-knowledge or understanding, over-simplify by seizing-on
what they interpret/imagine are key-words - and 'spout' from there (like
a drain-spout).

If you find it "hard to formulate", would you imagine an ignorant
trainee will find it any easier - or much harder to do the same?

The process of learning involves the formulation of "mental models". The
purpose of assessment is to ensure the trainee has formed a correct, and
working, model.

You assess such by merely listening to the way a student asks a question
or brings faulty code. Whither a chat-bot?
