me: So, you know what cryonics is?

her: Yes

me: And you think it's a good idea?

her: Yes

me: And you are not signed up yet?

her: Yes

me: And you would like to be?

her: Yes

You might have wanted to use a control question (e.g. "How many days are in a week?"), just to check if she'd have answered "yes" to that, too.

This was a snippet of the conversation, from memory. I already had reason to believe she wasn't a "Yes" bot.

Aw, sorry she turned you down. :-)

It would have been pretty impressive if I actually did get a girl to sign up for cryonics after she turned me down for a date.
