Getting mistaken for an ai sucks
This has happened to me twice. Today, on a comment thread on here, and a few months ago on a German subreddit talking about fashion, because I am missing a finger (amputee).
It's an extremely unnerving feeling. I don't think anything I could have said would have convinced the other person that I am real. Even showing picture evidence of my hand didn't help, because it apparently looked generated.
I don't know what I want to achieve by posting this. Maybe just share the experience and let you know that it's not like it doesn't matter. The finger incident made feel uneasy for days. It is just a really yucky feeling not being able to convince someone online that you exist.
