What is the point of ChatBots? (Poll added)

Quick, someone make a chatbot that connects to Cleverbot.com!

brian smith did once

they're nice exercises to learn how to package functions and modify chat. clientsided chat mods are annoying, serversided ones that actually are funny can be fun sometimes

I have found that chat is the best way for a client sided mod to output something to someone else in the server.  Like my terragen mod used chat lines to let other clients know when they had become an "adventurer" where the mod tracked them and built landscape around them.  However, if the entire point of a mod is to respond to chat with more precanned chat, then that is probably not a useful mod.

Jesus loving christ you guys, why can't you guys understand that a script kiddie isn't a child that makes scripts. It's a different thing all together and it's infuriating that you guys keep misusing the term.

Well it's people using other peoples things

Like most of the chatbots are copied code from someone else

it's a bit annoying when the only point of having a chatbot is for the person to wave around their 'talent' to ''code'' and '''make mods'''

Okay, but that's like calling someone a murderer because they use a knife to cut vegetables.
