You can't even (and probably don't want) do that with a real human. Why do we think it'll one day become a possibility/desirable with a computer?

Yeah I don't understand, I can literally call up a pizzeria and do this exact song and dance today whenever I want. I prefer ordering online without talking to anyone. I fail to see the benefit for consumers.

I do see the benefit for employers.
