I know of the Americans bot and it's alts, but it only creates posts and comments without context. Do any of the bots interact with real users here, that you know of?

That's a good question. I can't give you any examples. I hope some other users can answer.

I've heard that there are bots that can carry conversations with users, but it seems they always trip up along the way or eventually say something strange or off-topic.

But then so do the human users, including me.
