It's a setting you can change in your lemmy profile, and having the bot setting turned on doesn't stop you from posting manually.
I'm not sure if it goes the other way around though so bad-faith bot posts pretending to be real people could probably still happen if the bot setting is never enabled.
Edit: just to be clear Blaze is definitely not a bot but I don't think bots necessarily have to have the bot icon.
