Early systems such as ELIZA relied on simple pattern matching and scripted replies; modern ones draw on natural language processing and large language models. Chatbots now handle customer service, news delivery, tutoring and health screening, yet they may still produce inaccurate, fabricated or biased responses and raise privacy concerns.(要點:定義、技術演進、應用、限制。)
