    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.
