Humans cannot directly access websites - a machine is always involved. I know perfectly well what you mean but the distinction on a deeper level is fundamentally imaginary. The best is some sort of heuristic like captchas and even they can be outsourced so that the human doing them isn't actually viewing the content. The thing about a bot which bothers people is the behavior anyway. A bottish acting human would get people just as upset.
