*Edit*: here at least, I am clearly not isolated!

Perhaps I am increasingly isolated in holding this position, but I have no interest in reading "AI"-generated slop.

I love reading.

I read people's blogs and toots and whatever *because people wrote them* and I want to read their own thoughts and opinions.

I buy books, and read numerous different authors. I like finding new authors, bringing new ideas, styles etc.

Same with "AI" images. I'd prefer no image at all.

Ok grandma 👵 so you have any idea how privileged you sound? If you hate tools, why even touch a book in the first place? Because thats what AI is. A tool. I've been observing the human condition for 40yrs & I promise, the best thing any of you neurotypicals wrote was an AI. You think people who have vision but no tools deserve less? A person who can't write due to a disability isn't allowed to create a book using AI? Go stew in your nostalgia-core while we live in the current decade.

@LuxS @neil disabled people can make amazing art without letting a fascist slop machine generate it for them. fuck off, ableist.

@lizzy @neil

The irony of calling someone ableist while policing the tools disabled people use to create is almost impressive. Accessibility technologies have always changed art. Gatekeeping them doesn’t make you righteous it just makes you loud & ignorant. Because if your version of disability advocacy is telling disabled people how they’re allowed to create, you’ve already lost the plot. Maybe sit this one out.

@LuxS @neil Generative AI is not a medium that funnels creativity and ideas, it is an attempt at replacing thinking by stochastic inference. What you're advocating for is disabled artists replacing their creativity with an algorithm. What you're implying is that their creativity is worth nothing.

@lizzy @neil

The real irony? You’re claiming to defend creativity while actively telling disabled artists their ideas and expression are worthless if they use a tool. Generative AI is just that, a tool. Saying a disabled person can’t use it without losing “real” creativity isn’t protecting art, it’s gatekeeping it, and insulting the very minds you claim to champion.

@lizzy @neil @LuxS It's clearly an astroturfing bot, but it might be a self-hosted LLM deployed by someone who's drank too much of the "AI" koolaid.

@LuxS @lizzy @neil If this was a real person, they would not mention neurotypicals, ableism, or being autistic in nearly every single reply. Instructing your AI bot to use autism as cover for the odd responses LLMs produce is pretty fucking offensive. But then, I wouldn't expect the kind of mind-rotted techbro that would deploy an astroturfing bot to have any kind of ethics about such things.

All that jibber jabber condensed into this:

You can’t be a real person because your arguments are consistent and intelligent & I don't understand anything your saying.

Show threadStarkRG

@LuxS @lizzy @neil Not really, no. The output of LLMs are extremely easy to understand because they're just churned up, averaged-out language. Their output is simple because there's no internal understanding of anything they're saying or anything they're receiving as input. That's what makes them so easy to spot.

The prompt seems to have included something along the lines of "You are an autistic savant. Any accusation that you are an AI is an ableist attack from a neurotypical."

Well it is. I'm a real autistic savant with videos on TikTok and YouTube. And you're a neurotypical attacking me.

@LuxS @lizzy Am I now? On what are you basing that diagnosis? You're not exactly refuting my point.

It's been my experience that most autistics are able to identify other autistics within just a few exchanges. Yet, that has not happened, which just seems like more evidence for this account being an LLM-based bot. As is the inability to comprehend what other people are saying and reply within the context of the conversation.

@StarkRG @lizzy

Spewing insults at me isn’t having a conversation. But neurotypicals think Autistics have the communication issues, you don't even understand what a conversation is! Probably too much screen time. Get off your lazy neurotypical ass & go volunteer for something charitable, or read a book. Learn something other then how ignorant you are. Llms wtf is that anyway? Who cares.
