Laws against impersonating law enforcement exist so that law enforcement officers can get compliance from people that they wouldn't be obligated to provide to regular civilians.
You can't impersonate something to a text editor as there's no special compliance you could get; WYSIWYG. But to a chatbot, you could get special compliance based on your identity.
But a chatbot doesn't have any capabilities. It has no power to affect the real world.
