This might become more and more of a pain for neurodivergents, we already sound "odd" enough as it is, now people will assume we're just chatbots.

Do you think that the writing of neurodivergents is likely to be more unique? GPT generated text has a sort of cookie-cutter boring ”style” to it. Perhaps anyone actually familiar with the GPT “style” is less likely to think the writing of neurodivergents is generated? Hard to say, but probably not worth worrying about (if anxiety is another symptom then maybe no choice but to worry).

  Not sure about confusing neuro-divergent people with bots, but detecting abnormalities by text analysis has been around for a while. Famously, signs of Alzheimer's we're apparent in later Agatha Christie novels: https://www.npr.org/2010/06/01/127211884/agatha-christie-and-nuns-tell-a-tale-of-alzheimers https://www.npr.org/2010/06/01/127211884/agatha-christie-and...

  From my own experiments with GPT, I would actually say that generated text often has more liking to some self-conscious neurodivergent writing because (in the absence of specific requests to the contrary) it tries to avoid assumptions and overcompensates by basically covering all the possible angles of the question even if only one of them is obviously and likely relevant.

I heard similar concerns expressed when the insurance company Lemonade, in since deleted & recanted tweets, said they were going to use AI to look for signs of deception in videos people submitted along with claims. I only skimmed this article (I saw this on Twitter around the time it happened), doesn't appear to contain the deleted tweets, but it's discussed here https://www.vox.com/recode/22455140/lemonade-insurance-ai-twitter https://www.vox.com/recode/22455140/lemonade-insurance-ai-tw...

  Along similar dystopian lines, companies are already using ML to review camera feeds during interviews to detect "cheating". I assume they'll add "deepfake detection" or similar at some point and people who consistently trigger false positives will become nigh unemployable in certain industries.

Nah, there are plenty of perfectly healthy people that sound like chatbot most of the time, I doubt you'd be ousted. After all, they are trained with real chats and information so undoubtedly some conversations will be indistinguishable, there is only so many ways to talk about weather... Hell, I'd actually welcome personal chatbot that entertains whoever bothers me with smalltalk and detail extraction and just tells me when the petitioner actually gets to the point about their problem
