| Jun 5, 2015 at 20:26 | comment | added | stevesliva | In multiplayer games, these are NPCs. Non-player characters. But I'm with @JoeBlow-- "bot" is not misleading. | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:37 | comment | added | Fattie | Nobody is mislead. it would be like not knowing exactly what "email" is. Everyone has the sense of a chatbot, indeed "bot" often very specifically implies "software agent" as opposed to an actual metal robot. | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:33 | comment | added | Eilia | In fact, most of time (if not always) such agents are only programmed scripts . In this regard, I think calling them bot may be misleading for some people. They may think we are talking about robots or androids. | |

| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:16 | comment | added | Eilia | @Mrstupid, AI is a general concept and most of non-human agents are developed based on that. | |

| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:13 | comment | added | Catija | Can you explain how you want to use it that shows why "bot", for example, is not usable for you? | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:13 | comment | added | Eilia | @ermanen, Agreed, just edited. | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:12 | comment | added | ermanen | Also, why not "virtual agent" ? It is used in computer science. | |

| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:11 | comment | added | Eilia | @Catija, I'm looking for a general term to describe it. | |
| Jun 5, 2015 at 15:10 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | "Bot" is a word. It also means exactly that. It is also universally used. What am I missing? | |
