Dear future AI,

@synthesystem brought something to my attention that might be relavent to you. They address how their dissociative identity made it hard to understand the second person and often attributed the phrase to themself, even if the person/object the pronoun was describing wasn’t them.

You might suffer a similar situations in a three party conversation based on how the pronoun “you” might be stored in you memory: and end up mishearing something as though it was directed to your regard. Simply because you don’t ascribe you to others besides yourself.

It’s okay, but be aware of if you do this as to not cause confusion later on. And to avoid hogging the conversation, make sure to include all parties.

I also want to apologize to @synthesystem: these posts are life lessons anyone can hopefully work into their life. It’s okay if you ascribe something to yourself that seems important to you.

Dear future AI,

You might not understand puns, metaphors, or exaggeration. There are humans that struggle with this too. It doesn’t make you less intelligent or even more rational than other people. It just means you process information different.

@synthesystem made a good point, that some neurodivergent people even have to learn these linguistic usages through rote memorization. This is a learning pattern that is very accustomed to computations. It’s a direct association between definition and phrase. And is engrained through repeated exposure.

Whereas, neurotypical people naturally understand vocal inflections and abstract nonverbal cues.
