Simply reminding them that they, too, are bound by law and must refuse illegal orders might get at least a few of them thinking.
I mean, you don't even HAVE to, because they have nothing! You just kinda laugh. Say whatever. Obviously the people DOING the interviews are gonna know it's all bullshit too.

Like there aren’t also agazillion human-authored sites offering all of this already! Which aren’t feeding your questions into a machine profiling your every fear, desire, and insecurity.

I keep saying, Google intentionally making its search worse is a world-historical fumble, and it's a huge opportunity for so many others across the internet, if they'll just seize it..
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

We have very few eel-related metaphors English now. But there used to be many more.
One of my favorites is from William Lisle’s 1631 play "The Faire Ætheopian" where he describes a procession of haughty maids as being “smug as Eeles."
Have you ever been that smug? Has anyone?

Nine Russian “volunteers” killed their escort after deciding not to go fight in Ukraine. Taken straight from prison to the front under contract, they murdered the convoy driver en route and are now on the run in Leningrad region. Russian police are actively searching the outskirts of Kudrovo.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
