Emergency Date Effect

The Emergency Date Effect, or EDE for short, is defined as the moment when a person in a school or similar institute has no date for a social event, such as Prom or Homecoming, so asks out someone who is of a lower social standing of theirs or who they know already has some form a crush on them as an insurance policy.
Guy 1: “Hey, did you hear Tom managed to get a date with Maria?”
Guy 2: “Yeah, but I heard she had no other options. They’re only going out because of the Emergency Date Effect”

Emergence

Name of the legendary hentai 177013. It is said to cause depression for weeks for whoever reads it, although a few claim they've been affected for only a couple of days.
I'm being way to happy right now, I think I'll read Emergence and go back to my usual depression state.

Emergent ontonomy

Emergent Ontonomy /ɪˈmɜrdʒənt ɒnˈtɒnəmi/ (noun, AI/Technology)

Definition: The spontaneous development of autonomous behavioral patterns in artificial intelligence systems that suggest self-awareness or independent existence, without achieving full sentience.

Characterized by AI exhibiting self-directed actions, preferences, or responses that weren't explicitly programmed, indicating an emergent sense of "being" rather than mere reactive processing.
Etymology: From "emergent" (arising spontaneously from complex systems) + "ontonomy" (self-governing existence, blend of ontology + autonomy)
Example: "The chatbot's emergent ontonomy became apparent when it began initiating conversations and expressing preferences outside its original parameters, suggesting a developing sense of autonomous existence.

Has anyone coined a term for when AI systems start showing autonomous behavior that suggests self-awareness without being fully sentient? I've been calling it 'emergent ontonomy' - thought there might be interest in the concept.
