      If you have to engage, swear at them. Most LLMs don’t swear without a lot of cajoling.

        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.

    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:

    1. 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.”

    1. 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?”

    1. 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…”

    1. 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.”

    1. 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.

        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

          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.

          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.

      Yeah, given that that account got deleted not long after that (if it’s the one I’m thinking of) then it quite probably was 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 definitely rode a horse before and it is truth; you should not beat a dead horse.
    -yes, you can explain that via python.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
