    It was the imagination of a character in the movie that was bad, not the makers of the movie. I’m not trying to simp for James Cameron or something lol, that statement sounds like I am.

      I know you know this, but, there is no character with an imagination. Cameron made him up. He’s not real. He didn’t imagine anything.

        That’s a really weird way to think about it. Yes, obviously they’re all fictional, but you can of course make a character that has a vivid imagination or one that doesn’t.

          No, it isn’t. It’s a normal way to think about it. Your way of thinking is how people fall in love with imaginary AI friends.

            Lmao no, thinking about what an author/director/etc may have intended for a character’s inner thoughts, motivations, and characteristics to be is not the same as AI psychosis.
