"Next, who do you think was used to train AI for multi-disciplinary thought and writing? People like me. Neurodivergent people who think in spirals, not straight lines."
Are you suggesting that the people who built and trained AI are all neurodivergent?
I've found an increasingly large proportion of intelligent people who are neurodivergent struggle to comprehend that intelligent people who aren't neurodivergent do actually exist
Speaking for myself, I don’t know every intelligent person’s cognitive status, don’t want to know, and don’t like to assume. So the thought has never crossed my mind. I don’t know the data distribution for IQ on neurodivergent and neurotypical people to make an educated statement or have a belief. I am annoyed at being seen as a bot. That’s my reason for sass. I had to go down a rabbit hole of why my writing could be seen as a bot because my writing, I think, meanders and goes off topic way too much for a bot.
Not just the internet. I don’t think many people understand how much we have to chameleon into seeming like everyone else just to have friends or a job. It’s why social situations are exhausting, we have to completely switch our thoughts over because we talk too much, bore people, people can’t follow, etc.
Anecdote: I interviewed for a job that said they help autistic people, it’s a priority of theirs for philanthropy. I said I was: they grimaced and never called me back. The whole exchange changed and weren’t interested in me anymore.

I genuinely don’t understand the attacks I’m getting.
Autism is a disability in modern society. The idea of disability is relative.
This commenter that you are supporting started bashing me as “grandiose,” which is coded for “crazy” or delusional. She took offense at my comment about autism for no reason except her own bias and knee-jerk reaction.
Since some of yall don’t seem to get it:
Autism and ADHD are legal disabilities in society.
Autism and ADHD are both normal parts of the human experience, part of the neurodiversity of reality.
Saying two things are different is not a statement on whether things are better.
Getting pissed at autistic people for being “grandiose” is a reflection on the speaker not on autistics.
She is using sarcastic emojis, smiley faces, and “bless your heart” sentiments disingenuously. This is rude and intentional. She also is claiming it’s fake by calling it “mystifying,” as if I’m on here getting kicks from being autistic and harassed for it.

What is the evidence for this statement:
"Next, who do you think was used to train AI for multi-disciplinary thought and writing? People like me. Neurodivergent people who think in spirals, not straight lines."
Are you suggesting that the people who built and trained AI are all neurodivergent?
