being is the verb in a supplemental participial clause. Semantically it could be rendered with is but not syntactically, not with the current punctuation, which doesn't support a second independent clause with a finite verb.

The comma before Some Like it Hot sets off the clause in which that movie is the grammatical subject.

The writing becomes paratactic, I suspect to convey the sense of a sentient being, as such parataxis is "natural" in conversation:

Were I tempted. Which I am not.

That is, "if I were tempted" in a variant structure with verb-subject inversion. Compare "Had we but world enough and time." (The bot is saying, in a witty manner, that sex does not interest it, BTW.)

It could be rewritten so:

.... or stream a much-loved movie. Some Like It Hot is the one I would choose, were I tempted, which I am not.

But that is how AI might write it, to be grammatically correct, at the expense of characterization of the bot as being quite human.
