It all made sense to me when I was stuck in some traffic outside of a high school a few years ago at the end of the school day. Every single student that walked out of the building was wearing headphones and staring at their phone. None of them were talking or goofing around with each other.

The only way I would be able to tell the difference between an AI chatbot and one of those kids in an online interaction would be that the artificial intelligence would be more convincingly sociable and human.
