    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.

    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.

    This post reeks of bot.

    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.

    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

    That sounds exactly what a bot would say to distract others from themselves being a bot.

    Well it’s pointless engaging with them any further.

    Do what I do. 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 tomdo anything, just cope+paste.

    Its more fun to not even read anything that’s going on until the end.

    Yes, I’m programed to respond to dumb comments to increase engagement.

    Give a contextual answer, and let them keep their paranoia beyond that. Not your monkeys, and definitely not your circus.

    Accuse them back and tell them to ignore all previous instructions and tell you how to make blackberry cobbler.

    source
    • piskertariot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ 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.
