AI replies

Orangegnome

Hi I have noticed on here that sometimes someone will reply with what looks like a very AI response to someone’s question. Initially the message looks kind and understanding, but after a while it seems obvious to me that it’s AI. (As someone who has tried Chat GPT a few times). I am wondering if people might use it to put a ‘good’ reply to a thread on here? And genuinely mean well, or if it’s just weird? It makes me feel uncomfortable that might just be me though.

  • One of the aspects of  's  AI generated responses that I note is the absence of human doubt.

    It is very sure of itself unlike humans (and especially autistic ones) who tend to question everything.

    All the pithy statements are written with great certainty.

    It's was a great concern, as most people know AI can be useful, but always take it with as pinch of salt. I think the problem with not declaring you've used it, is it lends it a human air of real world knowledge, and so is more likely to be misleading.

    I was distressed that on a post about child harness, the user replied, yes 3 years old was a good age to harness most autistic children. This is so distressing as that's not the case, but the way ai replies to you always parrots back things like this. It implies the user isn't even bothering to ask in their own terms, but it's lazily just copy pasting the OP, then copy pasting the the reply. It's so sad that the forum is now no longer reliable, especially when the original poster was asking specially for other parents to reply with their experiences, and that person doesn't even have kids, but failed to disclose that in the post. It makes me so sad.

    That’s what I think too. People have been made aware of how AI posts deceive so there is no excuse for not referencing appropriately.

    I saw the post about the child’s harness but I didn’t know what to do. It didn’t seem to break any community rules yet it was distressing to think of how it could feel for a child. I agree about the way AI parrots things back.
