  They basically just assume what the other person means by something, and then proceed confidently with that assumption.

  Failing to consider that you could be wrong about something, could have interpreted it incorrectly or entirely missed something important, yes indeed that does make it seem like they know things they actually don’t.

    So… neurotypical people are like an LLM and I just fail at prompting them?

      Eh… I don’t think that is quite an accurate/fair analogy.

      Simply because it is dehumanizing, on the one hand, … neurotypicals are people, they have agency, and emotions, LLMs do not…

      …and also LLMs explcitly do just try to mirror or tailor their vocab / writing style to be ‘correct’ as per what you are saying.

      They’re literally built/designed to do this, as essentially extremely fancy autocomplete machines.

      To me, that’s actually much more like autistic masking.

      But, they also don’t really actually have any real concept of ethics, as operating guidelines.

      Also, they’re fundamentally incapable of real learning. They can perhaps mimic this, in a single conversation, but all that’s gone with a new instance of talking to them.

      Neurotypicals are obviously capable of learning.

      “…they’re made out of meat.”
