The dating app bios that all say 'fluent in sarcasm' are now my #1 bot tell

Alright so my final take after rambling for way too long, the humor angle is the best filter I have found so far. Last month I replied to a suspicious YouTube comment about a painting tutorial with a joke about how the roller nap looked like a hedgehog, and the bot just replied 'great point' with no understanding. A real person would have at least said something like 'haha or that weird shedding one' or made a joke back. That is the strongest clue for me, bots cannot handle weird, offbeat humor because they are trained on safe common responses. But I have also met real people who just are not funny, so I know that method is not perfect either. I am curious if anyone has a clever test that has never failed them, or do you think the bots are already learning to fake humor too? Because if they are, I am going to need a new hobby besides swiping and commenting just to mess with them.

Actually sarcasm is the easiest thing for bots to fake, hedgehogs are the real test.

Honestly now I gotta go find a hedgehog just to settle this.
