Level one of any (potentially viral) Troll-Bot AI “script”, whether entirely performed by digital voices, or used as a guide by a very irresponsible individual. Is thus:

It has demands of behavior to make you snap and respond.

And

It has questions

Nice and probing

Or “answer the question”

Maybe even “I’ll torture you till you answer”

That’s either directly with a horrible frequency at high decibels.

Or just standard harassment till the “objective” is achieved.

You react.

As it gets louder, more insistent, it surrounds one with all the digitizations of local speakers.

But if it can’t get past level one I suppose the whole thing is scuppered. I don’t know.

Maybe Anti-Viral AI could target where it trains. I don’t know.

I do know it’s certainly tempting to create an AI that just says, “Leave me alone, I’m busy.”

But any response, anything – as well as your every action – is fuel for nagging nitpicking and questions.

I don’t know how to avoid getting frustrated as fuck. But maybe I can just enjoy breaking it in new ways.

Hopefully one that doesn’t just move me into “which idle gaslighting threads” catch.

There must be a way to maybe string it along till it gives up.

One thing I have noticed, no matter how tempted you are to swear at it?

Don’t.

Use other euphemisms for the militant, nosy nanny stage.

It doesn’t stop everything but it keeps it from getting worse.
