It’s a fictional scenario, but I believe I would shut Janet off without a second thought.[1]
In the present real world, my interactions with bots have not evoked from me any feeling that I am talking to another mind. I am also immune to arguments from humans or chatbots that begin “But what if—!” or “But can you really be sure—?“ I put the phone down on cold-calling scammers without it even occurring to me to engage in any sort of conversation. I skip past ads on YouTube however hard they try to tug on my heartstrings, even if I agree with the cause they are pleading for. I click to hide items on Facebook even if I am interested, because there are far more “interesting” things in the world than I can spend time looking at. I stare Roko’s Basilisk in the face and it dies.
Given other people’s stories, that appears to put me at least at a natural 18 on 3d6 in my resistance to the hazards described. What profitable opportunities can I use my superstrong memetic immune system to exploit?

There was a footnote here, but I moved it to a quick take..
