Thanks for your concern, but I'm actually in a secure job, AI's not going to be replacing autistic peer mentoring any time soon as AI can't be autistic. ;) |
Are you sure? ;) Seems on r/autism many people suspect AI is autistic in the way it operates (bottom up, large data input) and responds (factful, direct). Many rather talk to AI and use AI to organize their replies. But yes, mentoring is much more than being a more human interactable search engine!
It's sad so many professionals are still so far behind when it comes to Neurodivergence, which is likely why many Autistics rather consult AI :/ DSM-5 is already 13 years old again, and needs updating. (It has 2022 text revision, yet Autism research is moving fast and needs to get away from insurance driven categorizations) Research from the last couple years, finally including women, is opening up new ideas.
Anyway, awesome job!

I'm autistic and I wanna see AI die.

I am and I am enjoying it. Copilot is amazing, makes learnings faster, easier and better. It has great utility, short-sighted people simply can't see it.

I'd like to think I hallucinate and get basic things completely wrong less often than AI tends to haha
And thank you; the job is mostly about the human connection and role modelling, which a machine ultimately cannot do.

Yeah same (Autistic and find AI is a net negative to society, more morality is needed not less) And it's worrying to see so many people 'connecting' with AI.

Half the time with GitHub Copilot I spend marveling at how great it is already, and the other half I marvel at the dumb stuff it does. Haven't had any desire to use Microsoft Copilot for anything yet.
AI can be incredibly useful so it's not going anywhere, like it or not. It is absolutely here to stay. It's actually kind of strange watching people get so fanatical about their hatred of it. Seriously, stop with the anthropomorphism.
The only questions are about where and how it will be integrated, which largely depends on how good it gets at tasks where it currently lags. The area it excels in at the moment is with finding errors, which is where it will initially have a positive effect on gaming. Yes, your favorite games will be using AI to help with coding.
Microsoft's mistake wasn't with AI in general, it was with shoving Copilot down everyone's throat. It was annoying. It's like McDonalds pushing a Big Mac in people's faces when they were engaged in activities that weren't eating. These people might know technology but they absolutely suck at understanding human behavior. It's the same with other areas that AI has failed in (so far)--the problem is that it was applied before it was ready, so the end result was customers being annoyed. Completely their own fault. If you're going to pay that much money, make SURE that it won't make your customers mad.
Will some companies fail at AI? Absolutely. Will it make a difference? No. Did internet commerce die because of the dot.com bubble bursting? No, and neither will AI because Microsoft scuffed Copilot. Celebrate if you want but it just means that their market share is going to someone else.

This. I don't think people have the slightest clue on how many world problems AI will be able to solve.
*also using a fiction movie to predict the real-world future events... I mean Jesus C., just stop.
What next? Predict the stock market based on the Care Bear cartoon?

Aren't you doing just that? What is your basis of assuming AI can solve world problems other than fiction.
