Bots are everywhere these days, chatbots are the most sophisticated by far. They are programmed to respond instantly to any and all questions and do so with laser speed. For example if you go to an auto parts website the 'person' that you are talking to is not a human at all but a chatbot. Samething applies to a medical site, the 'doctor' is not a real doctor but a chatbot.

So to the question: We are expected to conduct ourselves in a certain manner when interacting with fellow members and staff. But should the same rules apply when dealing with a chatbot? The things do not possess emotions, can't feel anxiety or anger, so why not troll them out just for the pure entertainment value of it?

I'd be interested in hearing your views on this.
