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 don’t use AI as a virtual therapist or friend, but I sometimes use it to find information related to something I’m interested in but I always check its sources and disregard those that may not be credible. I like to keep my brain functioning as well as possible so I restrict my use of AI.  I have heard too many accounts from people who notice their brains are less sharp because they are using AI rather than finding things out for themselves and formulating their own responses. 

    I think people need to be very wary of accepting any information related to autism, mental health, medical concerns and many other things. AI has been shown to be biased and can tell people what they want to hear rather than giving impartial advise or information.

    I think AI can be useful to help people understand difficult concepts such as you mention in your post and if you find it helpful that is a good thing.
