If someone made a version of Eliza for victim culture, "the bit about [message subject] is incredibly condescending" could be one of its stock phrases.
It wouldn't be hard for people to be fooled by this kind of trickery again in the right context.
Pretend someone wrote that program but instead we do a 21st century mechanical turk; an elaborate brain-like device is made with glowing parts, in a glass box, about 8 feet high. There's dozens of wires probing into it and going to these two brushed metal cabinets with noisy fans and blinking lights etc, but it's all just for show.
Inside there's a simple raspberry pi running our program (the turk) and there's a keyboard and monitor hooked up to this theater piece for people to interact.
I would place real money on a very large percentage of people believing it's hard AI, some true breakthrough of science, a heralding of a new age, even though it's just a 40 year old program.
Kinda like how War of the Worlds seems to continually lead to perpetual mass panic when it's just superficially updated and played out as a radio drama - presentation emotes more than content
