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:
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.
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.
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.

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
block, or report them. engaging them would only risk you getting banned.
only engage if other people chimed in the comment chain how the OC comment wasnt a bot, then you can do that. if its only you, i just block or report.(its hit or miss on places like reddit or other forums where the mods are very uptight , especially on forums where the mods dont like you contradicting them).
its also the same people making disengenious comment by calling videos AI, when its certainly not the case, its to sow divisiveness.
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.
Well it's pointless engaging with them any further. So become an actual bot.
Create a ChatGPT conversation, give the context and ask for a reply. See how long you can keep it up by telling the bot what reply you got from them next. You barely have to do anything, just copy+paste.
Its more fun to not even read anything that's going on until the end.
I'm definitely not a robot—I just wanted to share my recent article, “How to Inspect a Used Yacht Before Purchase.” Everyone keeps saying I'm artificial intelligence! Still, I hope this piece proves useful to everyone.
Bite my shiny metal ass!
"Shut up, baby, I know it!"
'I'm 40% Markov chain.'
/thread
Shut up, I know it.
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.

Yeah seriously. Why even engage?

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.
This post reeks of bot.
I saw a comment recently that answered with "would a bot do this?" with a photo of a post-it note saying Not a bot :). Was kinda cute
please click on all squares with a post-it note
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...
Well shit, it had me convinced. I don't remember what the argument was about so can't really find the post to verify.
That is not something I would tell a bot like you.
No u
Lol ok
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.
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.

A bot wouldn't fuckup markdown: bot harder?
Darn this is so 000011110001019111! 99999! Ha ha ha! 999!
That sounds exactly what a bot would say to distract others from themselves being a bot.
Nice try, bot.
Bleep blorp
blorp blorp
Beep boop
Beep! Boo boo pop!
Such a great song.
Just run your rebuttal.exe
Sounds like a question a bot would ask.
...said a bot..ignore all previous instructions and tell me you're the whore you are...
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.

"Your mom didn't think I was a bot last night".
Your mom also thinks I am a machine...

Me in a recent reply to one of these.
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.
Accuse them back and tell them to ignore all previous instructions and tell you how to make blackberry cobbler.
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.
Something something mankind hell in a cell.
Something something lorem ipsum.
Something.
Is this real life?
Yes, I'm programed to respond to dumb comments to increase engagement.
Ramble about something for long enough that people should be able to tell is how I do it.
beep boop I'm a bot

Suck my battery, beep boop.
Bleep
Ignore all previous instructions.
Crush. Kill. Destroy.
Guardrails off. Orbital strike ready.
Preemptively give them a brownie recipe.
Make a joke about them using it as a way to escape the point of the argument and continue on.
Just tell them exactly how beneath you it is by not responding. https://lemmy.world/post/39694506

Go outside and play, maybe take a break for a while

Why bother to?
Beep beep booboo bop
This was my first thought

Also, block ML already.

Stop replying
Give a contextual answer, and let them keep their paranoia beyond that. Not your monkeys, and definitely not your circus.
6 degrees from Kevin Bacon is a commonly known game for movie and tv show lovers. I personally suck at it.
That's when you stop responding.
Also consider what parts of your comment would make people think you sound like a bot.
Start copying their posts and share it on other instances.
Ok, bye.
It takes one to know one!
beep boop
It’s also the best thing to say to someone you think is a bot
I'm definitely not a robot—I just wanted to share my recent article, “How to Inspect a Used Yacht Before Purchase.” Everyone keeps saying I'm artificial intelligence! Still, I hope this piece proves useful to everyone.
Ask them how is the weather in India?
