It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

Shower thought: I usually think of people claiming they're "systems"/"multiples" as pathologising imagination (when not just bullshitting). But, what if internet has actually affected inner landscapes a bit? Rapid fire exposure to many contradictory opinions leads to ability to simulate discussions; may not have precedent of exposure at that scale/speed on so many subjects. Getting easier to hop between worldviews? (Does a fixed one offer cognitive comfort? Is that the appeal of socjus?) Are more people feeling they have fractured personalities in a way that was less common a few decades back? Or do I underestimate previous levels of info-bombardment? Obv I wouldn't call it "systems" etc, but maybe there's also new thing going on that's a bit more subtle than that, mental mutation... Hm. The voices we hear in our heads are the voices we hear around us. If the stimulus changes, I'd expect the response to change. We read books, our brains echo books; we read online comments... well. So where someone 100 years ago might hear narration, which might be one consistent voice, someone today might hear imaginary twitter threads, which automatically imply more voices...
