Text message exchange

Adam: Hi Jason! It's Adam with Bernie 2020. Joe Biden has voted repeatedly against the interest of unions and American workers, and Trump will use that against him if he becomes the nominee. Bernie has always fought to keep jobs in America. Will you join me and millions of Americans in voting for Bernie?

Adam: Hi Jason, just wanted to make sure you saw our first message. Bernie has been fighting on the side of working people against a corrupt corporate elite for his entire life. Can he count on your vote on March 10?

Me: Nope

Adam: Ok, I understand. Do you mind telling me who you plan on supporting?

Me: The only other feasible option.

Adam: Just so I'm certain, could you clarify who you mean?

Me: The less creepy old white man

Me: The one whose fake hair doesn't look like a dead animal

Adam: Do you mean to say Biden?

Me: I thought no it's obvious that I am trying every hard not to say that

Adam: I understand! Enjoy the rest of your day.

You realize, of course, that you were not dealing with a 'real' campaign worker.  You were merely giving a Turing test to an AI chatbot — a test at which it failed miserably.
