The most likely place you'd be accused of being a bot would be in a chat room. With chat utilities such as AOL Instant Messenger, you're highly likely to encounter in the chat rooms a series of automated messages, called "bots", which are nothing more than invitations to view web sites, usually porn sites. Sometimes they display their message only once every few seconds before repeating again. Sometimes they're programmed to give legitimate people the impression that there is a real person at the other end. Or sometimes they'll enter a room, quickly fill up the chat room screen with a series of messages, then just as quickly leave the room before anyone can put them on their block list.
Some legitimate people who go into the rooms actually type a series of messages that make them appear to be bots to some people, and therein lies the potential for such an accusation. I've been accused of being a bot once or twice because I kept trying to encourage people to complain to AOL about the bot problem, because it's nothing more than a form of spam. But I'm not. What I feared would happen--and what I predicted to these people would happen--has happened: nowadays the bots have so saturated the chat rooms that you can hardly get into the well-established ones any more to chat there. AOL once increased the maximum number of people allowable into their chat rooms, but all that did was provide a bigger space for the bots to proliferate.

A bot is common parlance on the Internet for a software program that is a software agent. A bot interacts with other network services intended for people as if it were a person. One typical use of bots is to gather information. The term is derived from the word "robot," reflecting the autonomous character in the "virtual robot"-ness of the concept.

Languages like C, C++, VB, Java and C# are great and all, yet no longer the perfect for programming AI. Lisp, Prolog are great strategies. no longer so particular why F# could be good, it looks like the different .internet language (from what i ought to tell it has a a million-a million function relationship w/ C#).

A computer-controlled player in a game.
Or if it isn't a game, it's like a moderator of forums/chat that automatically scans for certain things and bans people on those instances.

A bot is an automated process, much like this one.
