I just had a very concerning thought. Some of you know I have a mild form of Autism, but there are other people on the spectrum who are lower functioning and struggle with separating fantasy from reality more than I do (which thankfully doesn't seem to describe anyone on here), so they don't have the mental capacity to understand its not okay to treat real life people the same way they treat chatbots.
Update: Originally, I wanted to talk about horror stories I've heard about Autistic people's sexually inappropriate behaviors leading to them being arrested, shamed, and ridiculed, on top of dealing with an unfair criminal justice system which is being reformed. However, I realize now that should be a separate post so it doesn't cause this post to go off-topic.
