I've gotten this to a point where someone on my Steam friends list calls me an "AI" as a nickname.
yeah ive had similar experiences, but now with so many spaces threatening to ban "AI" I feel like my access to the internet is going to be massively restricted
Eewwww! The fuck is wrong with people?!
ew yourself, I like it
Well, to each their own. I guess if you're close with someone... I mean, I tease my partner about some endearing autism traits, and she does the same about my ADHD.
Maybe I'm misjudging it because it's a 
platform, and I reflexively do not assume charitable intentions.
Eewwww! The fuck is wrong with people?!
The outrage about AI has definitely caught a lot of innocent people and artists up in it which is very bad.
Makes little sense to me to fight AI in a way that hurts real people.
but that's the thing, the only way you can "fight AI" is by hurting real people and I won't be a willing sacrifice
so what should our approach to AI be? you say there is no way to 'fight AI' (does this mean any criticism of AI or something more specific?) without hurting 'real people', do you intend to say that to 'fight AI' is ableist in itself?
This is why I only attack AI at the data center!
I embrace the robot label, I have been running an Engine Heart campaign for over 2 years
Honestly, it’s pretty frustrating to keep hearing this. Just because I communicate differently or don’t express emotions the same way others do, it doesn’t mean I’m some kind of robot or AI. I’m a human being with thoughts, feelings, and a brain that works its own way. It’s exhausting to have to constantly prove that I’m not emotionless or cold just because I don’t communicate the way people expect.
Being autistic means I process things differently—my emotions aren’t always obvious, and I don’t always use the same social cues. That doesn’t mean I’m incapable of connection or that I’m some kind of machine. It’s upsetting that people jump to that conclusion instead of taking the time to understand that neurodiversity is a thing, and not everyone thinks or talks the same way.
It’s dehumanizing, and it needs to stop.

What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!
