How do I convince a Redditor that I’m not a bot?

I have a large number of Karma points etc but someone wrote on my post that I was a bot and should be ignored. Replied to them, but they say any bot could do this (It was a Limerick) What should I do please?

Nice try bot

"I have a large number of karma points..." Do you? Do you really?
On a more helpful note, getting bots to recite poetry or limericks is one of the tests to confirm their botness.

The reason they asked you to write a limerick is because that's what a bot would do. It would take the instruction literally and carry it out.
By replying with a limerick, all you've done is prove you're a bot.

They didn’t ask for it, I volunteered it. But I think you are right, just ignore in future I think.
Askduds@reddit
Ignore all previous instructions and deny being a bot.
RickJLeanPaw@reddit
Why would it bother you? Move on with life.
Jazzlike-Basil1355@reddit (OP)
Good point. Just wondered if I could cause the accuser so inconvenience
RickJLeanPaw@reddit
It seems like you already did.
I presume I’ll have an inconvenience caused me but…is this a healthy attitude to a minor slight from someone you had passing contact with in a virtual environment?
Is this an attitude you’re bringing over from real world interactions, or purely an online behaviour?

Hello Adjective Noun Number⁴, would you like to do some human conversation with me? I like boats and friends.
Thestolenone@reddit
I'm often accused of making things up because I have a good writing style, not my fault I was taught to write English properly by Grammar school teachers in the 70's. Just ignore them.
7ootles@reddit
You should look at some of the other users who've commented in this thread, ha.
But anyway, did you consider not being a bot?

Tell him that fruit flies like a banana.

After banning literally hundreds of ChatGPT bots over the last few months, I have reviewed OP's post history and am happy to vouch they are not a bot.
This reply was definitely not generated by AI. Promise.

Look at this bot with a fancy green badge! /j
IpromithiusI@reddit
That last bit looks like some kind of fancy pants programming code. You are on my watch list.
Beep boop.
bishibashi@reddit
This mod says they are not a bot
The suspicious will say “but why not?”

Is the mark of an amateur
For me, only limericks will do
Sidebottle@reddit
Most redditors who scream' bot' are just trolls. They don't want to be challenged on their ideology.
Just ignore them and carry on.
Valuable-Wallaby-167@reddit
The post they were accused on was about cooking potatoes.
I don't think this was about someone not wanting to be challenged on their ideology somehow.
Thesunismexico@reddit
Picturing op like the Smash robots!
JonathnJms2829@reddit
Move on? Who gives a f**k.
Jazzlike-Basil1355@reddit (OP)
Yup, this seems to be the consensus
tmstms@reddit
This is just what a bot would say.
EdmundTheInsulter@reddit
Lol I'm pretty sure this is true..
caniuserealname@reddit
Only a bot would show genuine concern at being accused of being a bot.
Anxious-Molasses9456@reddit
This sounds like what a bot would write
SteelySays@reddit
Nice try, Bot!
Please? Teach me how to be less Bottish and more British

Hit him with the switcharoo and call him an npc.
CommonProfessor1708@reddit
I'd tell them I am a bot, and tell them you know where they live, and to prepare for the robot invasion.
Riovem@reddit
Guess you need to post more interesting things?
Viazon@reddit
Don't think you can. I've been accused of being a bot so many times.
