![I Am Not A Robot title image](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY8JNSm7evAQSmquS927Db1vrVSvja6VNv2LuDidk3cuV/imnotabot_title.jpg) # I am not a Robot! but, apparently some people are under the impression that I am?!

It all started 2 days ago. I went to Discord to check if @GINAbot had any news for me. She's set up to notify me of people talking about #GooglyEyes or mentioning me in a post. And indeed, I had been mentioned a few times, again. Mostly those mentions are from entries into the #GooglyPrize, but this time there was a special one: ![efraims first mention](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXH6jXLxRAsbkd52JpjrFYEWrfKoFmKGtpJvWUtKeL19z/image.png) > EN: *And @fraenk is who?* @efraeim had posted this comment under a totally unrelated post [about Hooters and the banking mafia](https://steemit.com/cesky/@efraim/mafiani-chodi-na-obed-do-hooters#@efraim/re-kaczik-re-efraim-re-efraim-mafiani-chodi-na-obed-do-hooters-20180103t205310484z)?! I'm actually not entirely sure what it's about, Google translate does mangle the translation up pretty badly, but the folks over there were obviously discussing the likes of @cleverbot and @drotto in the comments. I was a bit puzzled to find my name there, but I decided to have a little fun and let it roll. With the help of more Google translate gibberish I [joined the discussion](https://steemit.com/cesky/@kaczik/re-efraim-re-efraim-mafiani-chodi-na-obed-do-hooters-20180103t180941401z) and introduced myself in Czech. For your convenience, here's the "English" version, translated back from Czech: Please not - "bot" gets turned into "shoe"... ![I am a Legend? And a Bot?](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYPjyahyzYEDaQXHSEY86gCRf6QSz8EFWZ5zdL7YDxLuv/image.png) Half way down Google translate made me sound pretty rude, but towards the end of this hilarious exchange I had developed the idea that @efraim initially must have confused me due to [a post](https://steemit.com/busy/@krakonos/novym-ceskym-steemitanum) by @krakonos in the #cesky category. There, @krakonos talked about his steemit experiences and gave beginners a few hints about what to do around here. He kindly recommended the #GooglyPrize Challenge and he also suggested to invoke discussions with @cleverbot for a few extra cents. Somehow, at least that's what I suppose, that's where it started?! Anyways, I thought @efraim had actually gathered by now that I indeed wasn't a bot. I referred him back to @krakonos to learn more without me risking to sound rude in Google translations again. But @efraim must have still been convinced he was talking to a machine, as he went onwards to [a different post about bots](https://steemit.com/cesky/@petecko/neco-malo-o-botech#@efraim/re-petecko-re-efraim-re-petecko-neco-malo-o-botech-20180104t215057660z) by another different steemian, @petecko, to ask them what the deal with this @fraenk bot was. Again, here's the translated version for your convenience: ![Bot-Level Legend Achieved](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcGz8b5odgTyjdPtdUn6qW8deCzEAne8iMfRp8cPozCbb/image.png) Ok, this was really getting weird. Apparently Google translate completely makes me sound like a machine? I decided to head over to @krakonos latest #Cesky post to [let him know](https://steemit.com/cesky/@krakonos/usa#@fraenk/re-krakonos-usa-20180105t094841494z) what was going on. Maybe he would be able to finally clear it up. But low and behold, I think @petecko is using @GINAbot or a similar service, too, as he was quick to respond himself (this time originally in English): ![Finally passed the Captcha](https://steemitimages.com/DQmREpG5ovdPMfV71uTMcgCeKAhWGoHh9AffUzEKfqcmhSf/image.png) I think he was a bit upset at first and maybe he felt as if I was just making fun of him, but it's all resolved now and @petecko actually took the effort to go back and clear up the confusion. Thanks mate! Well, I sure had fun while it lasted. I hope this post's thumbnail in my blog helps to avoid further confusion at least for a while. Also, if you are still not convinced that I'm human... here's my super messy desk... I don't think any AI could work in such a mess :P ![imnotabot_full.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPjbD5aR1DGHZ5ZXPTMGiY4DUd477uC7HG3rD3Kj29331/imnotabot_full.jpg)

And what did we learn? Don't trust Google translate! Be careful talking to machines! @GINAbot is totally awesome! _{You haven't heard about @GINAbot, yet? The General Instant Notification Automaton? Oh you have no idea what you've been missing. She's a great tool provided free of charge by @neander-squirrel! Head over to the [Minnow Power Discord](https://discord.gg/hHsRm8D) to get reliable, configurable, custom notifications for steemit. This whole adventure would have never been possible without @GINAbots username-mention-notifications!} _{And in case anyone really doesn't know what the Turing Test is - it's an outdated conceptual test to determine if an AI can pass as a human in a conversation.
