What have you found to be an effective way to tell if you're chatting with a bot or a real person?

Sometimes it can be hard to tell if we're chatting with a bot or a real person online, especially as more and more companies turn to this seemingly cheap way of providing customer support. What are some strategies to expose AI?

If you ask them, they have to tell you. Like the cops!

Speaking as a real support person, people do ask and it's fun to come up with responses. It really depends on my mood.

Do you ever pretend to be a robot just to mess with people?

Not necessarily. OpenAI has been trying to make their AIs do this and be generally unharmful, but there's lots of support in the open source LLM space for uncensored models. The uncensored models are less likely to be inclined to say so if they've been instructed to pretend they're humans
