$\begingroup$ @riskymysteries I think what would help a lot is a hint for the "With five I'm not from bots" part. $\endgroup$– mjjfCommented Sep 15, 2020 at 22:03

$\begingroup$ @riskymysteries Oh, I see you accepted an answer now. I liked this puzzle, but the question for the first bullet could be better - rot13(Obgf (ebobgf) pregnvayl pna oyvax vs qrfvtarq gb - nxn n uhznabvq ebobg be bar jvgu oyvaxvat yvtugf). The rhyming is nice, but not if it works against making the puzzle as clear as it could be. $\endgroup$– mjjfCommented Sep 15, 2020 at 22:17

As according to above answers, i just observe the fifth
With five I'm not from bots.
Blink - bots don't blink (TCooper)
With four I connect the dots.
Link - connects things (TCooper)
With three I seep into notes.
Ink - it does that seeping thing (TCooper)
With two I don't want jokes.
nk(No Kidding) (mjjf)
With one I have three eyes.
Last k, also known as symbol for thousand 1000, which shows up like three open eyes
The line above is where the answer lies.
The line above is "With one I have three eyes.". Eyes gives the hit of the answer blink.

Partial Answer (I think)
With five I'm not from bots.
Blink - bots don't blink
With four I connect the dots.
Link - connects things
With three I seep into notes.
Ink - it does that seeping thing
With two I don't want jokes.
maybe in, like inside jokes, but not sure why you don't want them, or if you're in on the joke it's not being played on you?
With one I have three eyes.
i? idk... this and two are why I put partial, but I think the first 3 fit too well not to post for someone else

Giving this another shot based on the hint "No one's lying". There are two possible meanings for this:
- There is no lie (more likely)
- It's not the last line that is lying, it is the first line. I don't think this makes sense with the riddle.
With five I'm not from bots.
links - maybe this has to do with robots.txt files in websites?; 5 letters
With four I connect the dots.
link - links two dots; 4 letters
With three I seep into notes.
ink - when used to write on paper, ink literally seeps into the page; 3 letters
With two I don't want jokes.
nk - No Kidding (abbreviation); 2 letters
With one I have three eyes.
Maybe instead of "i"s, this is referring to a third eye. However I can't think of a single letter that would give this meaning.
The other option is what I had originally thought - the answer has to ensure that there are only three "i"s in the other 4 answers (or be a lie). The only narrowing I can do is that it isn't "i" in that case (if my other answers are right).
The line above is where the answer lies.
the answer to the line directly above contains the answer to the riddle
The answer is:
No idea :)

$\begingroup$ @riskymysteries Thank you for the hint! Still can't quite get it though. I added some new postulations. $\endgroup$– mjjfCommented Sep 3, 2020 at 15:50

Hmm… I'm going to combine the two answers from mjjf and TCooper(and add my answer).
the word is
blink
link
for 4,
ink
for 3,
nk
for 2, and
a letter with three holes(eyes)
for 1.
