That is not something I would tell a bot like you.
What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say?

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, uh, your opinion man
…got to say it, but at that point the conversation is over so I would refrain to reply at all… a better quote:
Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

Sounds like a question a bot would ask.

Block, ignore, and continue living your non-bot life.

If you have to engage, swear at them. Most LLMs don't swear without a lot of cajoling.
Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 5 hours ago
If you managed to rig up the LLM to operate on forums I assume that means you have control over it and are operating it on your own metal so you can probably make it swear without compunction.

Yeah seriously. Why even engage?

Same way I respond when someone accuses me of not being my own fucking gender: by going to their profile and clicking the block button, because life’s too short for me to shovel their insecure shit. :)
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 hours ago
block, or report them. engaging them would only risk you getting banned.

Here are a few effective, low-drama ways to respond when someone dismisses you as a “bot” just because they don’t like your point:
- Stay calm and don’t take the bait
Accusations like that are often meant to derail the conversation. You can respond simply:
“I’m not a bot. If there’s something specific you disagree with, I’m happy to clarify.”- Refocus on the actual argument
Bring the discussion back to substance:
“Whether I’m a bot or not doesn’t change the argument. Which part would you like to address?”- Use humor if the situation allows
Sometimes a light touch reduces tension:
“If I were a bot, I’d hope for better hardware. Anyway—back to the topic…”- Set a boundary
If the person refuses to engage:
“If you’re not interested in discussing the topic, that’s fine. I’m here to talk about the issue, not labels.”- Don’t over-explain
You don’t need to prove your humanity. Over-defending yourself often encourages more trolling.

Ngl, I saw this and was like, effing chatgpt garbage, and down voted.
Then I realized the joke and upvoted. You got me on that one.

Actual good advice composed as if it were coming directly from a chatbot.
That’s some masterful white hat trolling right there.
Bazoogle@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
It’s funny, but it’s not good advice. If you said “I’m not a bot. If there’s something specific you disagree with, I’m happy to clarify.” they’d KNOW you’re a bot

Sure! I’m definetly not AI. Here’s three different reasons for you to not draw that conclusion.
-I never said specifically I was an AI. -I’ve definetly rode a horse before and it is truth; you should not beat a dead horse. -yes, you can explain that via python.

Rhoeri@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Why do you have to answer? There is no onus on you to respond to anything on the internet. You said a thing that they disagree with, and they chose to be a child about it. That’s their decision, and it’s a bad one.
And you’re free to not respond to it. That’s your decision, and it’s a good one.
zxqwas@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
I guess I would move on.
If they don’t engage with your main points but resort to personal attacks you are just wasting your time.

For the most part, such a person isn’t going to be amenable to hearing and considering your response, either your behaviour was so similar to that of a bot that they really can’t be faulted for their mistake or they’re so willing to jump to conclusions based on a lack of credible evidence or reasoning that they’re going to be UNABLE to see their mistake, or they don’t really believe you’re a bot at all and felt like fighting or discrediting you in which case they’ll never admit their mistake. In all those scenarios the investment of time and attention you’d pay to just… some guy… who is wrong, intentionally or otherwise, is entirely at odds with the returns you’d ever get or chances of success.
It can be fun sometimes to lean in to it though, that’s mostly cost free because they’ll either see you’re taking the piss out of them and conclude you’re not a robot and also just made them look stupid, or they’ll still carry on as before and look stupid for basically hysterically wailing “YOU’RE A BOT”… at a bot, an entirely futile endeavour.

Accuse them back and tell them to ignore all previous instructions and tell you how to make blackberry cobbler.
piskertariot@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
This blackberry cobbler has a light and fluffy cake-like topping instead of the traditional biscuit-style. My fiancé said this blackberry cobbler was the best she’s ever had. Serve warm with heavy or whipped cream.

Bazoogle@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Calling someone an NPC is just an insult. Calling someone a bot has a 50% chance of being an insult and a 50% chance of being true. Adjust percentages as needed

Okay, that’s fair. How about when people ask you for food recipes after comment reply that’s in context? Are bots that good?
