Fortnite launched in 2017 from Epic Games, and its Battle Royale mode turned gaming slang into mainstream jokes. In that slang, a bot is an AI-controlled opponent or, as an insult, a player moving and aiming with no awareness. Fortnite later added real AI bots to early matches to ease in new players, which made the joke even more recognisable. Clips like this spread through stream highlights, Shorts and TikTok edits, often paired with a Fortnite death sound, and the label still instantly signals an easy lobby.
