I tried it on dang’s handle, as it was one of the suggestions, and have got to say it didn’t feel anything like Dan. Responses were shallow, short, meaningless, repetitive, and evasive. It didn’t reply to things the real Dan would’ve (and has) answered, even something as simple and public as its own name, and it was pretty easy to get it stuck on a loop. It also got annoyed easily. Rather than a distillation of Dan’t comments, it behaved more like a “rules bot” to spew predetermined text.
I haven’t tested other users.
The interface is also frustrating to use on desktop: ↩ does not send a new message—we have instead to click the send button—and every time we do we have to click the message box again. So every message requires:
1. Take hand out of keyboard to the trackpad.
2. Move cursor over the text area.
3. Click.
4. Move hand back to keyboard.
5. Type message.
6. Take hand out of keyboard to the trackpad.
7. Move cursor to send button.
8. Click.

Appreciate the feedback! Re: the UX - that's so you can enter a newline, but agreed, could use a ⌘↵ shortcut or similar.

⌘↩ is the wrong shortcut. On macOS both ⌥↩ and ⇧↩ are the standard shortcuts to add new lines on fields where ↩ would cause an action. If you want to keep ↩ to add a new line, then ⌘↩ would send the message.
Can’t speak for the convention on other OSs, though.

Just ↵ should send a message now. Working on ⌥↩ for a newline...
Edit: all set with ⌥↩ as well! Appreciate the feedback.
