I think it’s very easy for a human to lie and behave like a chatbot. And the only defence against that is the incentive for both parties to focus on testing each other efficiently.

This is a hilarious inversion of the Turing test. It's supposed to be about the computer trying to act as intelligently as a human. Instead, we've got the humans gaming the system by acting as dumb as an AI.

100%. Of 7 games I played, 4 were bots and only once did a bot not use strictly correct capitalization and punctuation.

Interesting, my experience was not that at all. 1 game, of which the bot's second response was:

> ok so which thing do i buy im confused.. i want the rose gold iphone pleaseee help meee!

That is kind of interesting, I got a batch of bots at first that were using correct capitalization and punctuation and then later got a batch of bots that composed like teenagers including typos.
