The thing is this response is also made up. It doesn't know what it was doing, it just writes something vaguely plausible.
am i AI?
Sounds like something an AI would say! A human would recognize humor and not read a response to a joke as a factual statement.
Have you never interacted with a person on the autism spectrum?
Edit: Is this a joke that went over my head?
Yes its a joke, Yes I have kids and friends on the spectrum, and yes I am AuADHD :)
Dont feel bad you missed it, my response was also meant to be a soft joke, because I totally understand that not every social cue makes it past input to processing.
Haha it's harder to tell in writing but I can miss jokes like that sometimes in real life too. But usually I get jokes and joke a lot myself. I don't have any diagnosis but I suspect I might have ADD. I haven't gotten around to check but I know for sure something is not right with me.
dude... I have an interaction that would make heads spin. I could not for the life of me figure out why this person was being hostile, and they would not tell me, finally I just gave up and moved on. When my socio/emotional tools are broken I have no fucking clue what I am doing and the results can be spectacular from a distance.
