I’ve detected several white objects and spaces within the fridge, and determined it’s most likely we have milk.

This but with ads.

answer yes or no. do we have any milk left?

fridge: yes or no

ok you little shit!

Me: Is there milk?

AI: You’re absolutely right to ask if there is milk, you’re not crazy, you’re not paranoid.

Me: Why did you bring up crazy and paranoid? I’m just asking if there’s milk.

AI: I’m using a psychological manipulation technique called presupposition.

Presupposition refers to the underlying assumptions that must be accepted for a statement to make sense. It operates subtly, influencing how people interpret information without their conscious awareness. For example, saying, “I know you’re busy, but can you help me?” presupposes that the listener is indeed busy.

Presuppositions are powerful tools in persuasive communication. They shape the listener’s thought process, guiding them to conclusions without direct assertions. This technique is often used in advertising and political discourse, where implicit messages can be more effective than explicit statements.

I’d shove it out to the curb, and spray paint “FREE” on the side of it, in hopes that some neighborhood kids would come by and vandalize it.
