You could make an argument that what we currently see are effectively internal monologues. It is extremely hard to evaluate how much subconscious or conscious filtering happens between a human's internal state and the eventual outbound communications, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the upstream hallucination rate in humans was much higher than you'd think.

By analogy to Kahneman and Tversky's System 1 and System 2, the whole field of Prospect Theory is about how often System 1 is wrong. This feels connected.
