With the emergence of LLM “AI”, everyone will have to learn what many disabled people have always understood

Yes! This is a brilliant explanation of why language use is not the same as intelligence, and why LLMs like chatGPT are not intelligence. At all.

    […] in blog posts and videos and published memoirs, autistic teens and young adults described living for a decade or more without any way to communicate, while people around them assumed they were intellectually deficient.

    On a related note… only 5% of hearing parents with a deaf child will learn sign language.

        Amen! And it would benefit literally everybody. You can communicate across a room or in loud environments. It’s so useful!

      also those parents could be close relatives, so they could fuck up their offspring genome by transferring recessive genes to them from both sides, and thus a recessive phenotype to be expressed, which most of the time is a disability. shouldnt expect much from such parents
