I finally spotted a bot in the wild at my local coffee shop

Guy at the counter just stared into space for 3 seconds before ordering a "venti caramel macchiato with extra foam" - said it perfectly robotic. No eye contact, no hesitation, like he was reading a script. When the barista asked his name he paused again and said "User-4729" then walked off. Has anyone else seen this kind of canned behavior in public places?

Had some dude at the gym last week who did the same thing. Asked him to spot me and he just said "Command accepted" without blinking.

lol that's wild but honestly @baker.christopher, I kinda see it differently. Maybe the dude was just messing with you or he's super into coding terms, not a big deal to me.
