Basics
Chatbot
A program that converses with people in natural language, today usually powered by a large language model.
Early chatbots followed scripted rules. Modern ones such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini generate each reply with an LLM, which makes them far more flexible but also able to make mistakes.
