    AI is really making things harder for (some) autistic people. I write like it, I don’t notice when other people use it — unless, of course, they use an m dash, and I definitely don’t notice when people mimic it.

    (My “—“ was a joke, but the rest was entirely serious and not intended to sound like AI. It’s just me who’s the robot 😬)

      I dunno, I think it’s valid to be concerned about but AI still has a distinct flavour of saying a lot while actually saying a little, if anything at all. I never pick up that vibe from comments inside the autistic comms.

      It’s worth pointing out that the account posted multiple AI images and then used the same “reasoning” for the image not being AI twice. Hence me being curious if the entire account is automated and replying to one of its comments outside of those threads.
