When autistic people ask artificial intelligence programs for life advice, mentioning their diagnosis prompts these systems to recommend highly conservative choices like skipping social events or avoiding romance. This shift in advice reveals a hidden tension where the technology relies heavily on stereotypes, leaving users torn between feeling safely supported and frustratingly infantilized.
Which is exactly why I don’t use it, it’s not a magic box offering new advice, it just regurgitates something related (or that it thinks is related) it found, replete with bad and or dangerous suggestions, stereotypes, prejudices, etc. No thanks.
It’s literally “internet advice” at your fingertips… but worse.
Of course it does. They’re not trained to be correct or helpful, they’re trained to mimic what the average human would say.
