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

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.

  • Most of my experience with AI comes from "help" pages, or unhelpfull pages as so many of them seem to be, they seem designed to be frustrating and not answer you properly but guide you towards what you didn't ask for.

    I have enough of this in real life, with me asking a perfectly simple question and the person I'm asking, being unable to give me a straight answer or answering another question entirely or even asking me why I want know. It just gives me an attack of being Jeremy Paxman and asking the same question over and over again until the other person goes away.
