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.

    Considering the moves to create things like autism registers by the USA and their willingness to round up "undesirables" than I do have a concern that anything we make public (even on this site) could be used to categorise us as potential problems and put higher on the list to be considered for removal from society in the longer run.

    This is already happening with non citizens in the USA and non whites also seem to be targetted with other "undesirables" quite possibly in their sights. 

    This has all happened before in the 1930s and the rise of unchecked fascism both in America and the UK being scarily clear to observe.

    I recommend taking steps to make sure any interaction with AI us anonymous.

    Personally after having worked on training an AI system to replace my job I have so many concerns about the way it is designed that I choose not to use it if at all possible,
