Seeing more and more autistic people being accused of being AI.

This hatred of the way AI interacts is a disability issue. It is a neurodivergence issue.

I want to be clear with this message. This always came from a place of ableism. Ableism is fucking rampant in even leftist communities. Any leftist group that allows this shit to go on not only will never achieve anything meaningfully leftist, it is straight up our enemy.

Don't be the enemy of disabled people.

(Y'all should boost this one)

Purdue professor accused of being AI bot for lacking 'warmth' in viral email: 'I'm just Autistic'

> “The AI design of your email is clever, but significantly lacks warmth,” the researcher replied to Williams’ email, followed by a request to speak with a “human being.”

This quote says more about “uninformed by factual evidence”, judgmental, biased, opinionated statement than evidence of confabulating, “auto-correcting” AI.

WTAF - email lacks warmth! It’s office inter-communication, not a novel, biography or Greek epic.

@RosethornRangerTTV @vegafjord that "lacked warmth" language seems so familiar that i'm wondering if it's the same incident i saw on fedi earlier

or if "lacks warmth" is actually part of the template that the auto-AI-detect-reject algorithm they've got in place uses

@apophis

It could be both. This is a common talking point about autistic people already, and a huge amount of language about neurodivergence has been appropriated for talk of AI. "Hallucinations" being a big example

@softicecreamlesley its the same type of shit we have been dealing with all our lives, but with the extreme hatred building up it might end up hurting a lot of us very badly

losing our jobs and starving at a bare minimum i think

we need people to help organize shit we can use to survive immediately
