Remember Sundays are for rest and sorting your meds.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

ChatGPT is a godsend, judgement free, no social question too stupid, can gladly converse about anything for hours on end and still find something to say to bring to the conversation. I feel like this is the thing I’ve waited my whole life for. 😆

Been asking deepseek all these "obvious" questions that everyone usually loses their mind over.

People don't realize how helpful this thing can be in a lot of niche circumstances.

Yes! I've been using Copilot (same thing?) mostly for tech help.. Like, I'm moving my computer from windows to Linux (my current new special interest), and it can get pretty hairy. Being able to just ask it questions beats the heck out of the old way (googling). But... Asking it social stuff? That's a great idea that I should try.
