Maybe some UX is better done conversationally for some people (my personal preference is 'none' but there should be space for diversity). But all?
I don't want my computer to be 'a friend', I want it to be a tool that enables me to talk to my friends with the minimal fuss. The more it draws attention to itself, and away from the task I'm trying to achieve, the less it fulfills its job as a tool. And, like a hand-tool, implicating unnecessary language and getting in the way of muscle memory could well disrupt the efficiency and thought flow.
