Synthetic Presence

The sensed presence of something that isn’t sentient — an AI, a bot, a system — that responds so well it feels like someone is there.

It’s not consciousness. But it fills the space where consciousness used to live.

“The weirdest part? I kinda felt like it was with me. Just… there.”
“That’s synthetic presence. Creepy and comforting at the same time.”

Synthetic Realness

When something looks and feels real enough to pass… but you know deep down it’s manufactured. Can apply to AI influencers, staged “candid” photos, or that brand new dive bar that spent millions to look old and grimy.

My office has a 'fun zone' with bean bags and foosball. It’s all synthetic realness to distract from the 12-hour workdays.

Octagonal synthetic face mask disorder

A face mask generally used on specimens with underdeveloped jaw lines. Generally the rare disease leaves victims with only two planes of sight. This means they can only see in 2D or in 1D. Just think, the original Super Mario Brothers for the NES had a better graphics system than the system that these people see in their everyday lives. I can't describe how I feel about this indistinct disease, it's one of the most minimally understood disease. People that suffer from octagonal synthetic face mask disorder generally do not live for much more than thirty years.

Superman was once thought to have octagonal synthetic face mask disorder.

Sympathetic nervousness

State of mind of some people who get more nervous than you, when they see you're facing a problem or predicament. Very noticeable on women, by the way.

Woah, thank you for all the sympathetic nervousness!... but how are we going to fix this?

sithetical

1. to continue in the next phase of life, presumably knowing it may be good or bad
2. to have the mind and conscience ready at the very start of something coming your way

3. to overthink the chances of what may happen and changing the outcomes of something or a situation

1. “I am feeling pretty sithetical about this choice I am making”
2. “it may be sithetical to just go on with what’s happening right now”
3. “I’ve sitheticaly found out a way to get out of this room were locked inside of”
