This is a lightning talk about the rise of bots (autonomous computer programs), assistance systems, and conversational user interfaces (CUIs). In it I make the case that a solid taxonomy of bots is needed to further the discussion around bots. I highlight some examples of bots and place them into the taxonomy, and finally propose a gradual differentation within the class of bots that 'emulate humans'. This lightning talk was held during GeoBeer #15 (www.geobeer.ch) on March 23, 2017 at the offices of EBP (www.ebp.ch) in Zurich, Switzerland.
