Indeed, They toy with Us, molding "opinion," gaslighting, and harassing Us.  I have a habit, when annoying, rude, or insulting Ones come at Me of just saying, "Yup.  You're right.  Have a nice life."  Whether real or bot, as My dad taught Me, You can't argue with someOne who's agreeing with You.  The harassment ceases.  I gauge the bottiness by whether They come back with something like, "I AM having a good life," or something on that order.  Humans will generally think of something like that.  Bots have nowhere to go with that.  But now that I have put out My "Turing test," They may have the bots start responding like that...  LOL!
