Why did chess.com change "Play the computer" to "Play Bots"?

They made it say "Play Bots" instead of "Play the computer" Why? To make it less wordy?

That's not all that changed. The bots are now in groups as well.

WHAT? I was just playing a bot. Hmmm

Avatar of Drummer_GD_Elijah

What kind of groups? Like how they have beginner, intermediate, advanced, master, etc? That hasn't changed.

Groups like these. shock They take classes together,....the're very quiet thou.

Bots fits better in their UI box, as well as it sounds more approachable toward people used to losing to “the computer”

Avatar of catsrule777777

If you refresh the page, you can quickly see “vs computer” before it changes to “play bots”.

This is an outrage and must be stopped before the tiny blue robots take over our lives!
