How it works
A chatbot is a computer program. People built it, and it learned from lots of writing to make its words.
It can sound like a person, but it has no body and no family.
It can make mistakes and still sound sure, so check big things with a book, a teacher or a grown-up.
Keep your full name, address and phone out of a chat. A password is only for your family.
Worked examples
No mouth, no pizza
- The chatbot said it had pizza for lunch.
- A program has no mouth.
- It only makes words that sound like a person.
Five legs?
- The chatbot said a frog has five legs.
- Lila counted four on her toy frog, and Kai's frog book said four.
- The chatbot made a mistake and still sounded sure, so Kai crossed out the five and wrote four.
