This is basically Dead Internet Theory happening for real but in a weird creepy dystopian black mirror style way.
What is the Dead Internet Theory?
Youre not on the internet interacting with others. Instead, youre back and forth with a purely artificial "online" environment.
I mean, the only way Dead Internet Theory could ever possibly be interpreted was weird creepy and dystopian, but yes, we're just making it much, much more real, faster and faster.
We're gonna need the Blackwall from CP77 fairly soon, at this rate.
