It would be a stretch, but lets say you're driving some poorly thought out automation over a pty that has some sort of terminal emulator attached that has any sort of output-changeable answerback-like sequence.

The pty part is important because some software will assume you're running interactive if it sees that its STDIN/OUT is a pty, and change its functionality accordingly.
