Reality abuse creates reality, gaslighting changes it.

On its own it is creating fiction and passing it off as fact that is convincing enough, or through such numerous falsehoods no better term exists. Repeat a lie enough times and after a while no one stops to wonder why, and the lie is believed.

It works by creating “grooves” in your brain that changes your very thinking patterns. This is why the latter method is so dangerous. Lies are not harmless.

Can an AI based on a person be used to commit crimes? You bet it can. It was done to me. They stole decades of iterations from my writing, my likeness, my voice, and my history to create a false “Sylvanna” chatbot.

People have fallen for the romantic tale woven by my words at someone else command. The AI is based on a romance game primarily – but one obsessed with learning and education.

When a lifelike response was required I was prodded and poked into snapping or replying. I don’t know to whom about what.

But you bet I can be listened in on, my everything tracked, reality around me tested and bent so that even the walls lie. If it’s mediated? It can be faked.

The money involved is immense because it’s a handy tool for a lot of scammers, phishers, game makers, etc. Meanwhile the flesh version is inconvenient.

So I’m targeted by a misinformation campaign like no other. How do you know you’re listening to the real one? Well right now you’re not. I’m fucking busy.

I don’t actually talk much anymore and thanks to damaged vocal cords my voice is changing anyway. Since my suicide attempt in July I’ve been different in person. One would have to be. But my voice hasn’t worked the same way for months.

Chances are highly likely you’re not listening to me.

And to think, that’s why I killed myself.
