💼 Education/Employment I think that I learn like an AI

I just want deep learning, when I learn a task, I want to know every imput and how to deal with every situation that can happen, especially with a job.

I heard a lot of times that I teach well, but I think it is bc of this.

That is nothing like AI. AI learns to say things that sound good on the surface whilst having absolutely no understanding of anything, no concept of truth or reality.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Sometimes autistic people talk more like an LLM. But in terms of actual thinking? Incredibly different, because the latter literally don’t do that.

I didn't meant worked like an ai, but learned like one

I feel that it's the best way for me to retain information. ex : I work in a bar, I never did it, so they showed me "how it works", but I wanted to know what to do in every situation. What if the customer want a cup of coffee with some whisky, do I put the alcohol first or the coffee ? how much ? in the same cup as a single coffee ?... do you understand what I mean ?

u/Temporary-Comfort307 Autistic Adult 5h ago

No. An AI would just learn how to paraphrase the manual without ever having the slightest idea what coffee actually is. It doesn't seek out missing information (or even understand that it is missing).

If you actually learned like AI you would just do exactly what you were taught initially in every situation and maybe (if you are given feedback) eventually learn to take a different approach to the different specific situations after observing people's reactions.

well... it's kind of the case

We do know ai is not something sentient? And it does not “learn”? It is literally just an algorithm of instructions with a database connected to information input by people.

u/mierecat 3h ago

LLMs are not connected to a database. Once they’re released they have no way of acquiring new information long term. They can mutate data in their context window but that’s still a finite and relatively small amount of “memory”

I mean, there's actually a link between autistic people and AI in that we tend to communicate in the exact same way - so much so that 'AI detectors' cannot tell the difference between something written by an autistic person, and something written by AI. You could also say they're monotropic as they're typically purpose-trained for a single function (natural language, image generation, ect'.

are you a robot ? /s

joking bc you said "'AI detectors' cannot tell the difference between something written by an autistic person, and something written by AI.", don't be offended

AI doesn't learn. It's a sophisticated predictive text program. It's not alive, has no personality, and is no more learning than your phone's word suggestions.
