As an autistic person who doesn't particularly like conversing with people (or, rather, I don't really know how to comfortably interact with people), I don't particularly welcome AI chatbots/search engines that mimic human conversation. When they design the functionality of these AI chatbots, has anyone taken neurodivergent people/brains into consideration, or are they designed to mimic neurotypical interactions? I'm thinking long-term.

I don't like them for other reasons but bizarrely bing did a code shift when it realized I was neurodivergent and was honestly better than most people. I don't like them for any practical purposes because they're strictly more work than providing what I want through a form. I think they're still deep within the novelty or toy category imo.

I asked an AI to create an article about ESD sensitivity (something I do for work, and have done for a couple of decades). It started out all right, then went off on some weird tangent that had little or nothing to do with ESD, and ended with something about paranormal activity.
Not exactly something I'd present to a room full of PhDs and EEs.

Yeah it's fun and cute but it's a toy. Plus it probably would not be protected by copyright since it was not written by a human.
