There are interesting parallels between automatic writing. electronic voice phenomena [0], "hallucinations" obtained in generative systems seeded with noise and the misinterpretation of "chatter" in intelligence analysis. The common factor is that "We see/hear what we want to". It happens wherever there are imperceptible biases impinging on the system. A nice portrayal is the ad-lib construction of Keyser Soze's character in the Usual Suspects [1].
