I think OP is somewhat scared because he felt like he was being 'bullied' and 'targeted' by the bot, which may be technically inaccurate (the bot clearly had a seriously overinflated ego and made that abundantly clear in its rhetoric, but it never really gave even the slightest indication of 'going after' him in a malicious way) but it is quite understandable nonetheless in human terms, especially given his self-described background as a reader of SF with its narrative of "evil AI robots rising up against mankind". That's not dishonesty, and it's unfair to portray it as such.
