Don't feed the AI. Block and move on.

The point at which the strange number asked for a step by step for using Google is the tip off that you aren't dealing with a person.

I just thought they were being a sarcastic asshole

Same tbh. It doesn’t really read like a bot to me, and the responses feel similar to how someone replies deliberately slowly to someone being obtuse and rude. Like one might when dealing with a Karen potential hire.

I read this and immediately thought, “why is OP arguing with AI?”

Could be both. 

Started with ai, then a human took over at some point when they noticed engagement

More likely a scammer than an AI but could be both. In either case, yes, block and move on with your life

If you suspect AI you could run a cheap program that continually responds with random text (not llm generated) and drive up their token cost, maybe try to get it to do stuff that will break it

For me the first clue was they didn’t get snarky and rude when they responded to “stop”
