alt-text for thumbnail in case it embeds: it is an image of a queer flag with an infinity symbol, on a drawn wooden background with the words “autistic people mistaken for AI” on it

      Trolls, bots, NPC's, ai, it's all the exact same attack - "this isn't a real person so I don't have to deal with their argument." It's a thought terminating cliche so they don't have to deal with the cognitive dissonance.

        if i'm being completely honest i tell this to myself when i read something reactionary or hateful ... it helps to believe that they're a Koch bot or that they're being paid by rich assholes. maybe that's not something i should do?

    I've gotten this to a point where someone on my Steam friends list calls me an "AI" as a nickname.

    The outrage about AI has definitely caught a lot of innocent people and artists up in it which is very bad.

    Makes little sense to me to fight AI in a way that hurts real people.

    Honestly, it’s pretty frustrating to keep hearing this. Just because I communicate differently or don’t express emotions the same way others do, it doesn’t mean I’m some kind of robot or AI. I’m a human being with thoughts, feelings, and a brain that works its own way. It’s exhausting to have to constantly prove that I’m not emotionless or cold just because I don’t communicate the way people expect.

    Being autistic means I process things differently—my emotions aren’t always obvious, and I don’t always use the same social cues. That doesn’t mean I’m incapable of connection or that I’m some kind of machine. It’s upsetting that people jump to that conclusion instead of taking the time to understand that neurodiversity is a thing, and not everyone thinks or talks the same way.

    It’s dehumanizing, and it needs to stop.

    ironically the audio in this video does sound a bit like text-to-speech. Not because of the intonation but becuase of how it was edited/filtered.
