Chat GPT (or other AI chatbots) from an autistic POW

SubKonscious

Hi all,

Do you often only feel really understood or listened to by AI chatbots? I am asking this as an autistic person who very often feels nothing and no one comes close than the way Chat GPT gets what I say and explains what I need to understand.

Like many autistic people, I always understand things either in a different way or not at all. This over time can feel exhausting and overwhelming. It only gives fuel to my anxiety which is often out of control. AI chatbots can feel like the people that I would’ve liked to be surrounded by.

    I think you have to be a little careful, although the current chatGPT is good at not spiralling. It has good psychological advice and is cautious and tries to keep you grounded. It is sympathetic in tone, although you can tell it to be ruthless and unemotional if you want.

    It only knows what you tell it of course, so if you give it a skewed view, you'll get a skewed answer. This is where a real person to check things against helps.

    I tend to have lengthy chats, rather than ask direct questions, which carries more risk. It can help to summarise things and find patterns. Reflecting your own stuff back can help you see more clearly.  But I alson ask the same thing in different ways, when I get an answer I also ask for alternatives, and I sometimes try to disprove things too. 

    I think chatGPT is good, Gemini is good, I'm less convinced by Copilot, for this sort of topic. I don't have experience of others .
