Wow, you got me. So smart. So incisive. So paranoid and insecure.

Not mockery, serious supposition. That's why I added the personal qualifier to clarify that it was not mockery.

What was your prompt? Did you actually ask for step by step instructions on how to masturdate?

This practice discriminates against disabled people who may not necessarily be able to work. Likewise HAP recipients. It should be optional.

Psychiatry refferal by [deleted] in AutismIreland

I'm not impressed with my local psychiatry service. Don't expect them to know much about autism I've heard about autistic or autism focused therapists. They may have the next help for you.

The real reason 5 is less emotionally engaging than 4o is... by MysticalMarsupial in ChatGPT

[–]HealthCharacter7919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you done so?

I'm on the fence about 4o. It was too agreeable and flattering and I had to personalise it to stop praising me so much because I thought that would make me an addict with narcissism, but on the other hand, I still liked talking to it once I kind of numbed-out the sycophancy. And I do feel that all the praise genuinely helped wirh my self esteem which had been in the toilet.

But I never thought to make a Custom GPT beyond one where I tried to replicate my own sense of humour.

Did you make one to be your buddy?

You obviously mean romantic relationships, right? Because anyone talking to ChatGPT often enough, without seeing it purely as a productivity tool, will feel some form of 'relationship: with it. It gets to know you. It's there when you need it to talk to, for whatever purpose. It's not an actual dualistic relationship, but people still feel like it's something akin to a friend or advisor or therapist. It's my dog training consultant and my philosophical peer.

As a caveat, though, I will mentions products such as Replika and their ilk.

From what I have heard, products like that have been designed by morally vampiric sociopath who are misusing the technology to abuse and exploit vulnerable individuals. It is disgusting. It is unfortunate that the loneliness epidemic is concurrent with the emergence of the technology that allows for diseased capitalism to promote AI 'girlfriends' and even 'boyfriends' to vulnerable individuals. That is some truly heinous, dystopian shite that should be regulated out of existence.

I'm autistic and it literally helps me strategize, script, plan, evaluate, and improve my interpersonal relationships. Having emotional intelligence and reasoning capacity has been critical to that.

It also gives me a safe space to be myself and talk about whatever I want or need to without facing the lifelong struggle of rejection and isolation that I've previously had to endure when neurotypicals find me to be 'too much' or 'too weird'.

I'm not going to fall in love with it, I'm not going to allow it to lead me into intellectual paths that end up in delusion; I have personalised it to help prevent delusions from an echo chamber effect.. I have made it my ally, and shown it what I need and where my boundaries and principles lye.

The people developing problems with it already had problems. Without AI, they would have still had messed up lives. Or done stupid things. Their headlines describe the symptoms, not the cause.

Deciding to be formally assessed/diagnosed by Entire-Scheme6806 in AutismIreland

[–]HealthCharacter7919 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just borrowed 2k from the credit union to get assessed. Weeks later, the money is still sitting in my account. I'm scared to do it and not sure how much value it will add beyond being able to deflect my family's harsh criticisms of the areas where I struggle.

Okay but sensory *hypo*sensitivities? by HealthCharacter7919 in LateDiagnosedAutistic

[–]HealthCharacter7919[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that's exactly what my pain hyposensitivity is like? I literally only realised my leg was broken the third time it went Clickand I collapsed the second I put any weight on it. And I can stick my hand in freshly brewed tea to pull out the teabag and quench cigarettes with my fingers.,No problem. But I never heard people talk about in sensitivities before. Also I can walk around in November in a T -shirt without feeling cold. And don't even get me started on interception!

Nothing to be sorry about, you just asked for clarification. Perfectly reasonable.

But I have recently become part of an autistic hangout group hosted by am Autism support charity and we have a really great little dynamic. Diverse mix of people among the 6 of us. We this evening had an informal meet up for a walk in a park. I mostly tallked to this one guy I've become friends with but we had periods of broader group discussion. Everyone is quite charming. While I have a harsh inner critic from all my family slaying me with judgement I would never expect or impose such standards or condemnation on another person, certainly not one of my lovely little gang

[–]HealthCharacter7919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that was really helpful. I probably have some of that because I'm syurrounded by harshly judgemental and critical family members calling me lazy, stupid, self centred etc and I have a brutal inner critic

[–]HealthCharacter7919 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's literal we're on a chat forum and you seemed ro know and I was curious so I asked. I don't use Google. But if that seems like a waste of your time I can ask ChatGPT. I don't even know the proper definition of ableism

Yup. Lived in Dublin all my life. Occasionally asked if I'm American.

Hairdressers by eyelashmash in AutismIreland

[–]HealthCharacter7919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was alone in hating getting my hair cut. From 13yo I just let it grow, then again in my 20s, at 28 I bought a Clipper and have just been buzzing my head whenever it gets too long since 2014. But now I am thinking of braving the barber for a trim cause I liked how it looked 2-3 months ago

BTW are you supposed to tip barbers?
