i saw someone argue for chat being a 4th person pronoun because it breaks the 4th wall usually seen in mass broadcast media, there's still a degree of interaction that isn't there on live TV, so "chat is this real" prompts a direct response from a unified mass of people, there's a conversation happening through the 4th wall basically

the other person explained it better lol
