A delayed response doesn’t mean it’s not automated, just that it wasn’t built to not feel automated.

I worked on an automated reply system like this previously and we had intentional delays with randomness as well as variance in our responses to make it “feel more human”.

That's even worse. If it's going to be a bot, at least give the advantages of the bot and be somewhat honest about it.
