Looking at these screenshot two things come to mind:

1. As a user, I would be quite annoyed with the bot telling me that it can’t see a link in my post when there clearly is a link there. So I think the copy could be improved here. I’m not sure what the best way is but I see two options:  
(i) remove the bullet points in the bot’s message so that this pasting error doesn’t occur in the first place.  
(ii) change the bot’s reply to something like “Sorry, if there is a link in your reply, there is something wrong with it. Are you sure it is on a line on its own, with nothing before or after it? Can you try adding…”
