Thanks for replying

Do you think response time could also indicate that a user is a bot? I've had an interaction that I chalked up to someone using AI, but looking back now I'm questioning if there was much human involvement at all just due to how quickly the detailed replies were coming in...

It depends, but it'd be really hard to tell. I type around 90-100 WPM, so my comment only took me a few minutes.

If they're responding within a second or two with a giant wall of text it could be a bot, but it may just be a person who's staring at the notification screen waiting to reply. It's hard to say.
