I’ve Decided to leave the forum.

Roy

I’ve been giving this much thought over the last few days, I’ve been here for nearly 4 years and have learned much about autism. Not to sound too soppy, it’s been and still is a mind blowing autistic journey. I’ve seen lots of people come and go and have enjoyed chatting to different people. Lots has changed since I first joined.

I have found it very disturbing to see a fellow autistic human subjected to trial and verdict by AI, as autistic people we often have strong views on subjects, they are just that, views or opinions, why should someone’s opinions need to be constantly fact checked by a computer? It seems NAS we’re complicit in this act by condoning it, this is a public forum that the whole world can access. It looks as if the act was a long time in its planning. Are we getting to a world where a court is to dispense with a jury of human adults and simply feed the evidence into a computer? The AI has decided either guilt or innocence and passed sentence. It’s not a word I would wish to be part of. To be honest I’m shocked over the whole situation. AI can also not comprehend human compassion.

I don’t want to engage any further, I more just wanted to say goodbye, and to the good times.

  • Hi Roy

    I’m truly sorry that my thread upset you, and I do hope you’ll stay.

    It came from a place of considerable upset that I was experiencing at the time.

    I used AI to check my perceptions and share its findings about an accusation against me and a specific type of behaviour towards me. (I see this as very different - though I know some might disagree - from a character assassination, insult, or personal attack.)

    I did so in good faith, with no other available sources of advice, and with constructive intentions.

    Before posting, I sent it to the moderators, as I wasn’t sure whether it was acceptable. With hindsight, it's clear that a better outcome would have been a different approach - perhaps the matter being addressed privately by them. I’m glad to see the thread has since been quarantined, and I hope it stays that way.

    Again, I’m very sorry for the distress this has caused you and others.

    I sincerely hope you will reconsider and stay - perhaps after taking a short break, if needed (as I might do myself). Otherwise, I wish you all the very best on your onward journey.

    Please refer to a helpful informative that I have posted for your benefit within your "thread" that you speak of here during your kindly response to Roy above about his decision to leave this place (and his reasoning for doing so) after his 4 long years of happy and constructive presence here in this COMMUNITY.

    In short - and to summarise for other members - we all have the unassailable option to delete any thread that we start in this place - by simply emailing the community manager and asking for it to be done.
