The time period one puts between creating something with artificial intelligence and sending it to someone, in order to not raise suspicions on whether the product was AI-generated or not.

Delayed Reaction Syndrome

The act of either not having fast reactions in general, or delaying your reactions on purpose. May be shortened to DRS. Another word for this is "being a lazy piece of shit". DRS is normally present in people who couldn't give two shits about the world around them, even their friends.
Example:
1: Dude, why did you let the ball go into the goal?
2: What do you mean?
3: Dude, I think you have Delayed Reaction Syndrome
2: I'm not that lazy
1: Then why didn't you save it?
2: I don't know man
1: I think you're just a lazy piece of shit
3: For real

delayed pain

When you hurt yourself, and your body is good for a few seconds, but then the pain happens (ex: stubbing your toe, feeling it after a half second)

Aching muscle barely counts, this is mainly for delay in the seconds.
When I stubbed my toe on the wall, the delayed pain happened after a second.

Evidence-Saturation Delay

The cognitive phenomenon where the presentation of overwhelming evidence actually slows down decision-making and judgment rather than accelerating it. When faced with too much evidence, the mind freezes—unable to process, prioritize, or conclude. This delay is paradoxical: more information should lead to faster, better decisions, but beyond a certain point, it leads to paralysis. Evidence-saturation delay is why juries can deadlock after weeks of testimony, why consumers can't choose among 50 similar products, and why debates about complex issues never end despite mountains of data. The cure is not more evidence but better filtering, which is why experts are valuable: they know what to ignore. The rest of us just drown.
Example: "She spent three weeks researching which laptop to buy, reading reviews, comparing specs, watching videos. Evidence-saturation delay had struck: the more she learned, the less she could decide. She finally bought the one her friend recommended, which she could have done in five minutes. The evidence hadn't helped; it had paralyzed."
