Johanna, CanCon variety@evan This is an example of maladaptation at a fundamental level of cognition.
Our brains are not wired for asynchronicity or the dissolution of a storyline into fragments and tokens. We HAVE to fill in some gaps to make communication "whole" to us.
But most humans have neither the technical experience nor the self-reflective detachment to realize that is what's going on.
It's the cause for disturbing parasocial imbalances, lots of online harassment, "AI psychosis", etc.
