if you cant tell a chatbot from the real thing
then it fulfils Turings criteria for consciousness innit?

I always look for 'people' who don't properly relate, but just reiterate their opinions without addressing any comments I make.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a chatbot?

[jim360]

A chatbot is a programme that is able to automate chatting in various online messaging sites. Sometimes they are a useful tool, eg to provide quick help to common tech queries (before eventually a human will step in). Or they can crop up and pretend to be a real person in order to suck somebody in to visiting a more dangerous site where, say, personal information can then be stolen.
