>post syntax
Using human language is still incredibly hard for machines. A bot’s posts may reveal its algorithmic logic: they may be formulaic or repetitive, or use responses common in chatbot programs. Missing an obvious joke and rapidly changing the subject are other telltale traits (unfortunately, they are also quite common among human anons).

>post semantics
Bots are usually created with a particular end in mind, so they may be overly obsessed with a particular topic, perhaps reposting the same link again and again or posting about little else.

>temporal behavior
Looking at posts over time can also be revealing. If an anon posts at an impossible rate, at unlikely times, or even too regularly, that can be a good sign that it’s a bot. Researchers also found that bots often betray an inconsistent attitude toward topics over time.
