shitbot

A lousy machine learning-based natural language programming interface or a garbage human whereby you cannot tell if it is a really bad program or just a garbage human. Occasionally used as an insult for computer science types that have low emotional intelligence and when communicating can be difficult to tell if the person is human or just a shitbot. Often judged by the lower quality version of the Turing test known as the Tourettes test, whereby a person is asked to determine if the bot can be distinguished from a person with Tourettes syndrome.
