1 year agoI mean I take a less extreme take. But I definitely resonate. As somebody with autism, it’s really nice to have an impartial chat assistant to turn my stream of consciousness wall of text into something far more digestible. Trying to do so myself often takes hours to construct a message a couple paragraphs long. Where I checked and double check and triple check for anything that might offend somebody or come across strange or not flow well. Etc etc etc.
A lot of these articles don’t really investigate the accessibility aspect of these tools. And I really wish they did. I know if one of my friends used chatgpt to help with their messages, I would be completely fine with it.
As somebody with autism. I find this take lacking nuance. You see for me these tools represent a huge leap and accessibility for me. I can turn a wall of stream of consciousness text into something digestible and represents myself.
I find myself constantly exhausted with the societal expectation that I review, edit, and adjust my own speech constantly. And these tools go a long way to helping me actually communicate.
I mean, after all nothing changes for me. People thought of me as a robot before. And I guess they can continue to think I’m still a robot. I’ve stopped giving a crap about neurotypical expectations.
