I asked “what country are you in?”, and the reply was “just remember that I won’t answer any factual questions”. That’s seems enough to identify any bot.

Of course, it doesn’t rule out humans pretending to be bots.

EDIT: Well I retract my observation! The second time I tried it, it was a bot and it was willing to lie to me and make up a factual answer.
