How can you tell if you're playing a bot online?

All this discussion regarding PJT has sparked a question for me. Is there a way of knowing if one is playing a bot online? For example, could a player who is using a bot online still chat in the room? If not, would an easy solution not just be to say a few words to someone before playing? If this approach doesn't work, are there other ways of sniffing out whether one is playing a bot?
