on your profile settings on the web is a checkbox to mark it as a bot account.

What does it mean to be a bot account? I saw the setting, but I didn't know what it meant

It means that you are a bot. For example like Reddit's automod or all the Star Wars or Lord of the Rings quote bots or also unit converter bots.

And it seems like the first people are already trying to misuse the label.

It is a checkbox on your settings page never the bottom.
