List of chatbots
Appearance
A chatbot is a software application or web interface that is designed to mimic human conversation through text or voice interactions.[1][2][3] Modern chatbots are typically online and use generative artificial intelligence systems that are capable of maintaining a conversation with a user in natural language and simulating the way a human would behave as a conversational partner. Such chatbots often use deep learning and natural language processing, but simpler chatbots have existed for decades.
This list of chatbots is a general overview of notable chatbot applications and web interfaces.

The internet teaches Microsoft a lesson in the dangers of artificial intelligence and public interaction... Microsoft's millennial-talking AI chatbot, Tay.ai, has taken a break from Twitter after humans taught it to parrot a number of inflammatory and racist opinions... Microsoft had launched Tay on Wednesday, aiming it at people aged between 18 and 24 years in the US. But after 16 busy hours of talking on subjects ranging from Hitler to 9/11 conspiracies, Tay has gone quiet.

Tay lived for just 16 hours, until Microsoft "became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tay's commenting skills" to make her a Nazi. The /pol/ boards on 4chan and 8chan—/pol/ stands for "politically incorrect"—are where that coordination took place.
