A chatbot is a computer program that simulates a conversation with humans via text or speech. An AI chatbot is a computer program that uses artificial intelligence to understand and respond to human conversations via text or speech.
Both chatbots source information primarily from massive, predefined datasets compiled from the public internet, including web pages, books, articles, and code repositories, as well as licensed third-party data and human feedback.
Chatbots do not know the truth as they generate text based on probability. They sometimes invent facts or names that sound convincing but are incorrect. They lack a true understanding of the world and often cannot properly verify or cite the sources of their information. And, with complex or specialized topics, they frequently misunderstand the deeper context of a question. These chatbots are increasingly vulnerable to disinformation campaigns.
