Chatterbot

A chatterbot, also known as either a chatbot or a chat bot, is both a bot and a limited AI creation. Its an external program complete unto itself that can be plugged into a virtual environment and given an avatar to wear. It is also an AI designed with varying degrees of success, to have enough mastery of human language, sentence structure and constructive reasoning, to be able to converse with a human at length to the point that the human believes they are conversing with another human.

Typically chatbots have been used to advance the cause of strong AI and natural language interfaces.

There is an annual prize, the Loebner prize, connected to chatbots. Each year the latest and greatest compete in a Turing test with judges to win the distinction of being the first AI to actually pass the Turing test.
