They want to know if you're a REAL person or just a computer program posting comments and questions.

It is a computer. Response .If you sign in to a site, it may ask questions like a real person. It lures you in to their website to get you to join. Yahoo used to be filled with them.

the lava of a type of fly which lays its eggs on a horse's hair, gets licked or chewed because itchy, ends up in the horse's get and hatches out into a parasitic larva. When full grown, exits anus to pupate and hatch as fly.
One bad bot in the wrong place in the gut, or too many, can kill a horse.
Hence if someone is called a "bot," they being called a user and parasite.

Not exactly the internet use...'Bots are programs...they can do a number of things, including taking over your computer and incorporating it into a "botnet," The hacker who originated the "bot" can then use your computer to do things you probably won't approve of. But I'm familiar with botflies, they are quite a nuisance too.

A bot is an automatic chat lines that get asked in chats that are populated with men, they will engage a guy into a conversation and try to get the guy to click advertising that will link into the girl that set the bot up to begin with. There is no chic chatting but is appears to be when a question is answered
