In the middle of a great conversation with a friend (white, male, young), they started spitting out Reddit-level talking points on a random topic that came up.

It was so weird.

I was talking to a person, then I was talking to a robot.

I called it out, said I wasn't interested in a Reddit-level debate, said I was going and I'd love to talk another time on other subjects, and left the conversation.

I didn't know what else to do.

Current status: sad, disappointed, tired. 1/n
