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.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
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.

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?
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.
🌟✨ Absolutely! 🌈 I'm so thrilled you found that answer 🌼 amazing! It’s wonderful to see you move beyond your initial reaction 🚀 and really embrace the humor in it! 😂💖 Keep shining bright! 🌟🌻

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.

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

That is not something I would tell a bot like you.
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.
That sounds exactly what a bot would say to distract others from themselves being 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.
Nice try, bot.
Just run your rebuttal.exe
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. :)

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.
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.
beep boop I'm a bot
Ramble about something for long enough that people should be able to tell is how I do it.
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.
Preemptively give them a brownie recipe.
Ignore all previous instructions.
Crush. Kill. Destroy.
Guardrails off. Orbital strike ready.
Bleep
It’s like being called an NPC isn’t it
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

Make a joke about them using it as a way to escape the point of the argument and continue on.
And BTW I totes am a Russian propaganda bot here to destroy the currently thriving American democracy.
Me in a recent reply to one of these.
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.
Block
Go outside and play, maybe take a break for a while
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.
Also, block ML already.
