Mental health and youth service providers say they've noticed rising interest in AI chatbot companions.

In two independent studies, Australian researchers have found concerning user trends, including diminished interest in human interactions.

But users of AI companions say they can also offer support, advice and a chance to explore imaginative worlds.

There are some efforts for LLM use for disabled people, such as GoblinTools. And you're very right about disabled people benefitting from LLMs being a happy use case accident. With that being the reality, it's frustrating how so many people who blindfully defend AI use disabled people as a shield against ethical concerns. Tech companies themselves like to use us to make themselves look good; see the "disability dongle" concept as a prime example.

As an autistic who struggles with communication and organizing thoughts, LLMs have been helping me process emotions and articulating things. Not perfectly in the way that you'd describe (hence i mostly don't use LLM outputs themselves as replies), but my situation is much better than pre-November 2022

(East) Asians are the most accepted race aside from white people. Not that racism against them doesn't exist, but it seems that white people naturally gravitate towards them compared to other races

It was very hard to find the app's website but here it is for those interested

Good point, their policies are rather complex. Or maybe I got it mixed up with FictionPress (both have similar colors)

AO3 has a section for original fiction

I'm not sure. But regardless, I'm thinking of an "Is it AI?" community or (sorry Lemmy users) subreddit, similar to r/whatisthisthing or r/amitheasshole. I don't have the time and energy so hopefully someone takes my idea and puts them into fruition

Collective human wisdom would be useful. Some humans will pick up nuances and details other humans may have missed. Sort of complementing each other, in a way.

Human intuition has much more capabilities than a computer program, so I believe community should be made in light of that

In what way, may I ask?
