I tried putting in verified users and they were all "probably bots". By definition is that not the only type of user publicly acknowledged as "not a bot"?

Yeah it's not very good. It marks the author's account[1] as "not a bot" when it appears to be just reposting Instagram posts.. ie, it is a bot.

Plus it said I was a bot (85% chance anyway), and I'm pretty sure I'm not.

It correctly classified me (I am a bot) w/ 96% accuracy.
It incorrectly classified me (@mrkoot) as a bot w/.923 probability.
