What cracks me up is the one time I told someone who IS a gamer that I work on a bot, and he got all pissed and assumed I meant cheat bot, instead of A.I. bot.
It took 5 minutes of explaining for him to realize the difference, but on some level I still don't think he believed me.
The word "bot" has a really negative rap with all of the cheating that goes on in most games today, I ususally now say something like Rick does: "I make it so you can play against the computer."
