Well yes, but actually no

What you say when you know what is expected of you, but you dont care.

Origin:
In an animated short film called “So You Want to be a Pirate!”. There’s a part where a character says “good guess, but actually no”. Someone posted a screen cap of it on Reddit, but captioned as “Well yes, but actually no”
My friend: Don’t you feel bad about taking his stuff?
Me: Well yes, but actually no.

Me: So you’ll for sure be here to fix my internet tomorrow?
Comcast: Well yes, but actually no.

Me: (clicks not interested on the same YouTube video for the millionth time)
YouTube: Well yes, but actually no.
