Botting
Botting refers in general, to having a task that would be expected to be done by a human user online, instead being done by either an automated script, or, at very most, a weak AI setup. Botting is typically applied to highly repetitive actions where no real thought is necessary for long periods of time.
As such, they typically manifest in great hoards in gameworlds and gaming environments where grinding (doing the same activity over and over and over) is commonplace, and take over a player's account and avatar for the duration.
An avatar controlled by a strong AI, or artificial general intelligence, could in theory be considered botting, as in such a case you have a wholly artificially-sourced mind in control of a body where an organically-based one is expected.
