We’re plural. Our lived experience runs contrary to your opinion.

We aren’t born with our personalities already intact, they develop and unify around the age of 5-6, and DID is a response to trauma from before that age.

That’s the current prominent theory, but testing it empirically would be disastrously unethical.

Here’s the relevant section of the DSM:

All dissociative disorders (quite possibly all disorders, we haven’t read the whole DSM) require the presence of clinically significant distress or impairment in order to be considered a disorder.

There is no specific entry for nondisordered plurality for the same reason that there is no entry for individuals who do not experience mental disorder: The DSM catalogues mental disorders, not the entirety of the human experience. It’s beyond the scope of the document.

Here’s a good introductory primer to plurality:

They use tar.

A tulpa is a type of supplemental consciousness capable of independent thought and with its own sense of self. It is created, intentionally or otherwise, by an existing consciousness within the same brain it comes to inhabit.

Yes, we are acutely aware that it sounds like preposterous pseudoscientific bullshit. We’re just describing the concept, not expecting you to put any stock in it. We know what community we’re commenting in.

The LLM in this example is not a tulpa. It only (poorly) mimics the appearance of independent thought and a sense of self, and runs on an external device.

They’re misidentifying that LLM as a tulpa.

We’re aware that some people use LLM output as a basis for the creation of tulpas, but this doesn’t seem to be the case here. This seems to be a person attributing independent intelligence to an LLM external to herself, not recounting her experience with an additional consciousness within her own brain.

Whether or not you consider tulpas or other forms of plurality to be genuine phenomena, this conflates two different concepts which are tangentially related at most.
