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.

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.
