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.

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
That’s kinda what I meant, it good but also makes it from the bots perspective and that is the tell. Like it is telling on itself, which is what makes it funny to me.

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.

Yeah, being overly polite and accommodating is default bot behavior.
“I’m not a fucking bot asshole” is something that a bot would be very unlikely to say and a lot more concise.
