It is very true that bots can be means of manipulation, control and spying. And therefore there should be more discussion and studies about them. My method of studying bots is to make them and see how people react. I am making chatter bots as a scriptwriter. To me they are just interactive fictional characters. And those are the future and present of multimedia, internet and games. Bot is a narrative element in cyberspace, part of the story space that real - and programmed avatars inhabit. But a bot is more than a character in a movie or a book, it responds to players/human using the same means as they do, yet the reactions it gets do not apply to the rules of the VR in question. The expressions of love and hate are more extensive towards a bot than towards a human.
