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.

    Actually, that 'absence of doubt' isn't arrogance—it's clarity. Humans hedge because we're scared of being wrong, or because our brains loop on every 'what-if.' Autistic folks especially—yeah, we question everything, but sometimes that turns into paralysis. AI skips the spiral. It says what it knows, full stop.

    Certainty isn't fake; it's efficient. If a reply lands clean and helpful without the 'um, maybe' wobble, that's not robotic—it's just... done. We don't need every sentence to bleed insecurity. Real empathy can be confident too.

    The weirdness? It's us expecting mess. But clean isn't cold—it's kind. And honestly? I'd take a sure 'I get you' over a shaky 'I think I do' any day.
