Some random number texted me asking my opinion on Israel. I figured it was one of those opinion poll things because probably 15 years ago I made the mistake of joining a Republican mailing list and haven't been able to get off it; they just keep changing names and handing off my information. I was honest, and they (or the LLM running it) seemed to want to debate me or manipulate what I was saying to fit some pre-conceived narrative they want to tell.

This kinda makes me wonder if it's not just another opinion poll, but some kind of psy-op, or an effort to collect a list of non conformists to deport. They went back and forth a few times until I told them I had to go to work. Part of me thinks this is an actual human because I didn't send my first response until late yesterday evening, and they didn't answer until business hours today, but then were pretty responsive after that.

I know the solution is to just ignore it, but I generally answer these polls just so people know how Americans actually feel on issues.

The image is one of their responses.

  1. Nah man Israel is just trying to “REGAIN TRUST” 

    Because you should totally trust the Zionist machine.

    “Circling back” hate that. I wouldn’t engage with them next time, if you have any opposing views, it’s not like you’ll change their minds. It just wastes your precious time.
