Purdue professor accused of being AI bot for lacking ‘warmth’ in viral email: ‘I’m just Autistic’
By Richard Pollina
July 21, 2023
An assistant professor at Purdue University, who has been diagnosed with autism, said that they were accused by a fellow researcher of being an AI bot after sending an email that allegedly lacked “warmth.”
Rua Mea Williams, 37, warned that people with disabilities might be confused with artificial intelligence because fellow professors are not accounting for those who have neurological issues or are not native English speakers.
“Kids used to make fun of me for speaking robotically. That’s a really common complaint with Autistic children,” Williams told The Post on Thursday about the misconception.
“Chat GPT detectors are flagging non-native English speakers as using Chat GPT when really it’s just that they have an idiosyncratic way of pulling together words that’s based on translating their native language into English.”
Williams ... holds a Ph.D. in human-centered computing.

Which implies that ChatGPT may actually be able to pass a basic Turing Test.

This is bigotry against robotic people

So, who wins in this woke Mexican bigotry standoff?
The accused autistic racial bigot or the proven anti-austistic bigot?
These woke professors really need to attend some mandatory Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Sensitivity training.
