I have a completely different question. What make a program, bot? Why isn't this called service or app or utility?

Just curious.

The way I see it it's software that does something that a human is "supposed to do".

Eg chat is for humans but a chat bot will use the chat's interface for automating some tasks. Or bots in a multiplayer game take place of other players etc.

Bot ~ robot ~ humanoid? I guess?
