Is any computer program a bot now?

  I was just thinking that...

  If it's not an app, yup. I'd have actually read the article if had been titled: You won't believe how I increased sales by 10% with this one simple trick.

    "There is no program" --- it's an app, a bot, a micro-service, a nano-service, a REST Hook, a CLI, a Job, a miner --- "programs" are what gramps wrote!

      Gramps was a programmer too, not a developer.

  I think a bot implies some level of automated communication with a human (in this case, an email reminder).
  • dualogy 9y ago
    If it's just about an email reminder (cron job), "bot" is even more of a buzz-word! But whatever, good on OP

  If I recall correctly every computer program was a bot when I started coding in 2005. YMMV.
