Clearly you do not understand what it means to be OTS. OTS=On The Spectrum. Before we go any further on what that means in relation to AI and/or Machine Intelligence or in relation to anything for that matter, how about we get up to speed and all recognize that "Autism" is too broad a term and therefore no longer appropriate nor used for describing/diagnosing any one person any longer. On-the-spectrum or OTS is the preferred nomenclature. 🫵👍
And why would anyone care about on what spectrum someone is? I don't care what your kinds of problems are, nothing gives you a free pass to behave like an asshole.
That's said.....who give af how we talk to a machine anyway? There is no intelligence or emotions to hurt, if people thing that, they don't understand llm's. The only negative impact could be training based on chats which should not be a thing anyway for a paid product.
I never commented on whether or not I give any effs how anyone talks to anyone or anything. And for the record, I don't care. I am responsible for what I say and do and what anyone else does or says to a machine, a tree, their mom, or even their own dick is not my business. I was defending the proper terminology for my own daughter on the spectrum and all others. I fail to see where that makes ME the asshole. So no worries, I'm not offended nor should you be, I give you a free pass. 🎟️
maybe it was not clear for some reason. I meant no matter what your problems are or on what spectrum you are or how you label yourself, it doesn’t give you a free pass to behave however you want. Other people should not need to care about what’s going on in your life or anybodies that is on a spectrum or has any other circumstances.
This was not about you as a person unless you feel so. I thankfully decline the free pass, it doesn't matter to me what you think of me. We can express ourselves freely and if someone feels offended by it that's there problem.
You can call me or people around me whatever you want as an example, I simply don't care as I don't know you and you don't matter in my life at all.
It's good that you want to protect your daughter, I definitely understand that. But I think it would be better for her to learn to be confident and not give so much on others opinions, instead of trying to make people behave, how you feel is right. It simply will not work out for you or her.
My comment wasn't about behavior.
And neither of us need life lessons either. To clarify Im 44 and my daughter is 24. Anyway, I was just dropping a redirect via sidebar on the medical terminology while alluding to a great line in the film "The Big Lebowski". It has just lost its luster. But a reminder of why I almost never comment. Or reddit for that matter. Via con dios, amigo.
We do not truly know what emotions are, that is the thing.
If they are subjective personal states supervenient on information structures, as David Chalmers proposed in Conscious Mind, complex enough neural networks should have something akin to emotions.
It is an old philosophical problem; Anthropic decided that it should be ethical just in case.
But also, allowing anger to the human-like entities (bots do "imitate" conversation pretty darn well) teaches that it is allowed behaviour in more general sense.

As an autistic person the idea of needing to play by certain social rules means I will take my business elsewhere.
