In my experience most recruiters fail a basic Turing test 
Chat bots are fun to play with, though I can't image they'll get many serious responses with an AI.
At least they're not pretending to be "personal" and to have "read your LinkedIn profile"
That being said, the in-house recruiter that got me my current job is one of the nicest and most fun people I know, I even voted for her as recruiter of the year!

What really surprised me (well, I was hopeful, it's a fault of mine) was that there was no conversation. It was basically just a bunch of the same questions Monster and Indeed will ask, but in "dialog" form. WTF? That's not AI.

Yes but it is a recruiter. Please asses the AIs capability in comparison to the human equivalent.

Au contraire, if you look at the first chatbot of them all:
Quote: ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program created from 1964 to 1966[1] at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory by Joseph Weizenbaum.[
ELIZA[^]
So the recruiters have cought up to the level of 1966, so what?

It's never AI, it's always ML.
I wouldn't be surprised if this bot actually analyzed 100s of "conversations" with recruiters and that's just what they do
Although you'd at least expect something like "I do not understand, can you please repeat that?" or "Let's stay on topic, okay?"
It's like "I'm really fast at math."
"Ok, so what's 234 x 1242?"
"5."
"That's not even close!"
"No, but it was fast."
It's "AI", just not very good.

Did they ask you to click on all image segments with store fronts to prove that you are human? Maybe a recrutee AI bot will be the next big thing.

Looks like a bunch of code for collecting response to a predefined set of questions. And they call it AI. 
That "Interesting!" response was hilarious though!

Funny how nowadays everything which replies back to you is called AI. Guess is a sort of tendence of these days. Once AI will be again boring then they will swap on the new trend.
"Hey have you seen this vending machine?", "Yeah, is a common vending machine; so what?" "No, it's powered with AI". Oh well, that changes everything I presume.

From Code Complete (2nd ed)- Steve McConnell[^]
* Steve McConnell: "In software, consultants sometimes tell you to buy into certain software-development methods to the exclusion of other methods. That's unfortunate because if you buy into any single methodology 100 percent, you'll see the whole world in terms of that methodology. In some instances, you'll miss opportunities to use other methods better suited to your current problem. The toolbox metaphor helps to keep all the methods, techniques, and tips in perspective--ready for use when appropriate."
* This quote is from 2nd ed but the 1st ed (1993) also has this same paragraph, just slightly changed for style.

That's because marriage is an anti-pattern. So this sentence, applicable to software consulting:
Quote: That's unfortunate because if you buy into any single methodology 100 percent, you'll see the whole world in terms of that methodology.
for marriage, would read:
Quote: That's unfortunate because if you buy into any single methodology 100 percent, you'll see the whole world in terms of OTHER METHODOLOGIES.

So I'm curious. How would you define "methodology"? What common methodologies exist? Are we talking BS like the non-existent waterfall methodology which was coined as a joke to which we now have Agile and flavors like TDD, Code First, Schema First, etc.?
Because none of those methodologies have any real substance to them other than "tailor it to your needs" which is, of course, the ultimate methodology. So it's not a "toolbox metaphor", sadly, it's another methodology. The "toolbox methodology."
Apologies if I sound snarky, I don't mean to, I just get frustrated with things that are common sense but have to be couched in buzzwords for management to adopt. Oops. Snarky again.
