A broad discussion of the male bias in autism research and diagnosis, and how autistic women have been largely overlooked because they commonly exhibit masking rather than avoidance behaviors:

@sarahdalgulls Arduously long but one point struck me. The use of ambiguity in AI responses because it doesn't know what to put. In effect the reader sees the meaning in the sentence.
Does this mean that we are being gaslighted, and AI is not nearly as advanced as we think? Has it just learnt to produce text that is plausible to anyone and fits multiple interpretations, just like the tabloid astrology columns?
I don't think there's a simple answer to this. On relatively closed domains like writing computer language it definitely can produce real direct answers. On ambiguous social questions, perhaps it does produce ambiguous answers for us to project meaning on to?
I'm quite surprised that I hadn't noticed or thought of this possibility. I think I will ask some questions and look at the answers while asking myself "how would someone with a different worldview understand this?".

I think the BBC has chosen a cognitively poor prompt about Angela.
"Is there anyone called Angela here?" Seems likely to prompt a check against a mental list of staff who are there, leading to a "no." when there isn't.
"I need to see Angela, now!" Is my thought for a much better formulation.
Cognitive Psychologists might do better on that, any offers?

A longitudinal study of cognition and aging in 516 people aged 70 to 105, conducted until all participants died, confirmed the association between intelligence and longevity, and found that verbal fluency was the component most strongly associated with longevity. Measures of perceptual speed, verbal knowledge, and episodic memory were not linked to longevity.
