Judging by how human beings involuntarily register arbitrary headlines as facts to be dislodged, we will probably register impressions from these metahumans as real experiences as well. The truth about narrative is it is orthogonal to truth, and it is just a matter of taking the initiative to establish impressions in the minds of others which they will use to frame truth as they experience it, and filter it to confirm existing impressions and beliefs. Between these and deepfakes, we could trivially use these to create mass political movements based on subliminally registered associations, which sounds like 80's brainwashing hysteria, but they didn't anticipate simulated humans escaping the uncanny valley. Impressive tech, it's just ironic and troubling that the only sane response is to essentially dissociate and treat everything as being under the influence of a managed simulation. Sounds nuts, but it's really just ahead of the curve.
