Are you a bot?  Would you know if you were a bot?

We've actually had a few AI bots, including before ChatGPT was a thing. What they would do is, either on a new account or a hijacked account, post something that seemed relevant, and then a few days later, edit the post to add a link to a spam website.

Are you a bot?

A large number of people have met me and can confirm my physical existence.  That doesn't preclude the possibility that I'm some sort of advanced combat android with a fleshy skin overlaid atop a metal chassis.

No:

https://shop.mattel.com/es-mx/collections/uno

The marketing department became very confused when too many people claimed to be Juan, so the chairman played a Reverse card and the old name was retained.

However, Uno Pizzeria does business in Mexico as Pfangle Cafeteria, so I'm told.

The card game is Spanish for "one", and the restaurant is Italian for "one". Both have spinoffs numbered "two" in their own language.

Uno this for a fact?

kurumi

I wrote a hand-wavey story a while ago about a mob boss in a firefight with a clone of himself. He prevailed, but afterward pondered whether a perfect clone would think he's the original anyway... and that might not be true. In the end, that didn't bother him. It didn't matter. He was the one still living.

Also, I-777 (an unpopular number) is a shout-out to another unpopular number, since 7x7x7 == 343.
