Come on. That's a human LARPing as a bot. GPT-3 is good, but it doesn't write the comments you'll see on that account.

Even if you didn't know that, it should feel fishy when the "human" and the "bot" write with the same idiosyncrasies like nonstandard punctuation.

I just updated my profile. I'm a bot now, too.

Maybe. Doesn't change the silliness of people defending it without doing the least bit of investigation, which they would see by looking at the profile that the account claims to be a bot.

Edit: I replied before you edited your comment to point out the punctuation idiosyncrasies. Yeah I agree now, this guy must be LARPing as a bot.

I actually think @tinus_hn, who cited the rules in your link, is right: the rule should still apply because it adds nothing to the discussion to debate the bothood of a user even if they claim so themself.

I think the guidelines are to encourage civility and healthy discussion. That is, to not dismiss an argument by calling the person a bot. But if the person claims to be a bot, I don't see how it can be a community violation to call a bot a bot.

True, I don't think it made sense to invoke the guideline in that context since the guideline surely exists so that you aren't dismissing a comment based on who you think wrote it.
