The article mentions that satire can dehumanize and then continues on to say it can be damaging to fictitious people. That kind of bizarre statement of somehow dehumanizing a fictitious person is why people distrust science. Because I'm not sure if that is actually a statement from the study or it is the supreme ignorance of the science communicator and the AI they use to write the article but it makes the entire article and utter joke. It certainly reads like a fever dream of an AI.
