    I’ve found that LLMs spit things out that read like bad high school essays. I’m not sure they’re succeeding at sounding allistic at all. Just weirdly repetative in the way a structured high school essay is.

      Yeah it’s tricky to make it sound normal. Esp since normal very much varies based on setting and culture

    I’ve spent 2 months transcribing an entire poorly written text book into a Google doc. I’m now taking that transcription and having chat gpt rewrite it all for readability. All so I can maybe pass certification exam.

    The problem is less with us and more with academia having developed an highly oppressive way of writing things. But from my perspective it’s just sloppy unreadable garbage.

    AI has been great I can just give It the promt “make this concise and readable using only common language” and it will take entire chapters down to simple point form lists for me.

    I also use goblin tools for writing.

            I haven’t had a reason to use it properly yet, just testing, but it looks great. It’s not perfect though. I asked it for a way to check what programs I have installed on Windows because I want to switch to Linux, and its answer was that I should make a list of the installed programs >.<

              Tips for switching to Linux cause why not:

              1. Don’t… until you’ve switched to cross-platform software that you know fullfils your needs.

              2. Use a live session for a few days, weeks, months, before you actually install it.

              3. Don’t expect it to act like Windows, it isn’t

    As someone who doesn’t have adhd/autism, I see this as one of those legitimate uses of AI. Because lots of people struggle to make mails/texts to be readable.

    Other is summaries the context of large texts/data sheets.

      Claude has the ability to accept uploads of PDFs and then answer questions about them. I just recently uploaded a PDF of a complex state tax law that had deleted portions and addendums and all kinds of stuff over 36 pages of legalese, and after a few test questions to see if Claude was able to do what I wanted, I started asking questions and getting answers (with references) for important things I needed to know about what my rights were, and what I could and couldn’t do.

      I never could have figured that out just reading through those pages.

    I’m actually still coping with the fact that I can use AI for work. I hate it. It feels like cheating and I learn little from using it vs. figuring the thing out myself, but this is a smart use.

    Nah, I’m using it for work, to write proposals and documentation - that’s all. And I always include a “written with AI” disclaimer.

    I don’t have autism, but I still use ai to write out boring corpo stuff sometimes. Like out of office replies and sometimes to add some structure to an argument I’ve typed out hurriedly etc

    This is literally how I’m getting my directors to stop pestering me about how complex my shit is. Dumbing it down and translating my messages for them. Works wonders.

    Not necessarily ai, but I use recommendations of message app to make a 2-3 word answer instead of a single word one

    I dont yet but I will probably use a locally hosted, open source AI to do this at some point. I‘m self employed and need to remove barriers that arent fixed (moral code for example is fixed for me).
