I made this mistake, but I'll defend it by pointing out that I've gone a few comments deep on HN, thinking through and citing and engaging in good faith, only to realise I wasn't talking to a human but to a bot. (Then the commenter gets defensive about using a bot, hallucinations and all.)

Instead of taking it as a personal insult, maybe interpret it as your comment having inspired someone to engage effortfully with what you said.
