They ask for your number. You give them a fake one.
After one night stand.
Not, fake. Someone I know and don’t like.
They got married.
It was fun when I show up in their wedding.
The above reply is pure AI hallucination.

You’re not wrong Josh. But as for being pretty dumb. Someone has said the repeating the same process and expecting different results isn’t very smart either. Based on solid experience why would anyone (who’s not insane) take a survey from Solidworks seriously?

And you really think I’m going to give my email on a survey on a forum? That’s like taking a ride in a strangers car! Who knows where we are going! And, no I don’t get on the internet to call up some stranger to give me a ride either! (Think Uber)
They are calling something a survey.
Back to your original point. What part is anonymous?

The original poster of the “survey” is a legit actual SolidWorks employee. They are using the built-in “survey” function of the platform as an easy way to create a sign up sheet. They picked the “anonymous” option when setting up the “survey” precisely so that your email address would not be shown publicly. If they had not picked the “anonymous” option, then everyone’s responses to the “survey” would be shown in the thread. That was basically the whole point of my post here… The humorous juxtaposition of the automatic text created when they made an “anonymous” (i.e. your results are not shared with the whole community) survey vs. the obviously not anonymous “enter your email address”.
Functionally, this is a totally legit and effcient way to ask people to sign up to have a discussion with SW employees. I was not calling out the “survey” as some sort of nefarious attempt to trick us into providing personal information. It’s obviously not that. If you don’t want to talk to someone at SW, don’t respond to the survey, and don’t provide your contact info. If you do want to talk to someone at SW, provide your contact info so they can contact you to talk. Don’t provide bogus useless contact info either way. It’s just counterproductive.

If it quells anyone’s worries I did have quite a good conversation with someone in Product Development earlier in the year. Was a chance to explain one of the ideas in more detail and comment on some of the solution plans they’d come up with. Felt like I was able to steer it more in the direction that the idea was meant. Will be interesting to see what the final form of it takes (I believe the plan was to get it in to SW27).
So there is some merit in participating in these activities.
