Or, god forbid, you ignore the wrongness and lean into the unreality -- the false affirmation, the pretended understanding, the incongruity of affect. You learn crazy nonhuman communication. Incongruous "affect" breaks our brains. Rather quickly. We've let this abomination into our schools . 3/3

Your brain notes the void in the fake communication, but struggles to express what it is. Because emotion is hard to capture with words. Some would say, almost impossible. There is no real person/brain on the other end. It feels crazy and aversive and distasteful. You KNOW something is wrong 2/

I grew up on horror movies so chatGPT makes me think of the bit where something has replaced/is imitating someone in your group. It hits uncanny valley in a violent way. (I'm sure I've been fooled, but generally speaking.)

And this is absolutely not to say I think everyone should notice this. I actually am kinda too proud of the work I've done to become a strong character writer to imply that. I've spent 18 years where every single day I think about how to make imaginary people feel real. This is my main event.
