From its useage here that I myself have seen it is an abbreviated version of ro-bot. Indicative of an automaton or pre fabricated response delivered by a machine.
Not sure if this is exactly how it has been used wherever you have seen it but in my view that was the best definition.

1. bot

1. Simple computer program used to perform highly repetitive operations, e.g. trawling websites to collect email addresses.

2. Computer program run concurrently with an online game to give the player an unfair advantage. Bots may alter the game environment, boost the abilities of the player's character or hinder opponents. Writing bots requires a great deal of skill; using them almost none.
"So you're using an aimbot... and he's using an aimbot... if you're both going to cheat, why bother to play?"
"Just to show that I cheat better than him."

2. Bot

Things on instant messanger programs that try to act like stupid girls who give you links to pay porn sites. Usually are hella annoying and repeat everything over and over again

There is also an insect called the bot fly, but it has nothing to do with robots. Its life cycle is pretty disgusting.
