Horror fans don't give that much of a shit about continuity. I mean, look at Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th .etc .etc
They're there for the shock value, the tropes, looking at all the ways people die or get disgusted. If you don't have a comprehensible story that revolves around that, then they won't care.
Translation: "I was talking to AI about how I've been hallucinating and having vivid dreams of people coming after me. I'm secretly a schizo or someone with mental disorders. And I talked to it until it validated me. So now I'm prepared to be a potential murderer. Thanks AI!"
