Not to my knowledge. Technically Dihedral is merely _rumoured_ to be a
bot, as we have no actual proof; but we've been conducting a variety
of Turing tests via this list and have yet to see any strong argument
for his being deemed human. Most humans would get defensive, or at
least protest, if treated as bots; Dihedral never has, despite being
referred to in this way a number of times.
