Oh absolutely! It’s a distinct affective state. Spooky and eeriness uses fear imagery without actual threat, which creates a different phenomenology than fear or terror.

There isn’t a formal term in psych defining spookiness. But I would define it as fear cues in a safe context. Things that can signal danger themes, but the environment tells you you’re safe. So you get low-level arousal without real threat, which actually supports social play and bonding.

Put in your own prompts into chat gpt. It consistently uses fairly repetitive verbiage and phrases that could help you pick out some of the more blatant copy and pastes from ai.

Thank you :)
On the other note, I wouldn’t even know how to respond if someone asked me to write my own letter of recommendation. I didn’t even know that was something that happened.
