    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.

    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. :)

    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.

    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.

    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.
