The racism behind chatGPT we aren't talking about...
This year, I learned that students use chatGPT because they believe it helps them sound more respectable. And I learned that it absolutely does not work. A thread. 🧵

Neurodivergent people don't write like AI. But some of us write like what people think AI wites like. (AI sounds like a politician. A pointless meandering sycophant.)

Basically there are not objective ways to determine if something is AI, which is why neurodivergent students and students with international English or English as a second language keep getting falsely accused. The suspicion is triggered by an implicit sense of otherness.

Oh and also the erroneous belief that the stress of an emergency is the same or more debilitating than the stress of being observed by people you know don't believe in you and have the power to rip your dream away from you.

A specific flavor I'm looking at right now is the confluence of a general stigma against cognitive disability, a specific belief that certain cognitive disabilities must be mutually exclusive with veterinary care, and a belief that assessments accurately reflect real world practice

*slams head on desk* Hawking... Had... A body... Just. What!?
(I would argue, and so would @wolvendamien.bsky.social , that computers are also a kind of body, with sensors and actuators, but that doesn't mean LLMs are people!)

"Abolitionist organizers Kelly Hayes and Miriam Kaba write that inevitability is “a construct of the wicked” (Hayes and Kaba 2023, 5) and “… despair is a thief. It saps your energy, depletes your time, and robs you of your ability to dream” (Hayes and Kaba 2023, 227)." - Disabling Intelligences 5
