Yeah you have intelligence in the scientific definition but I certainly wouldn't use the word colloquially to describe you...

You're objectively wrong and I've clearly demonstrated that so you're calling me ai? Ok buddy, continue looking stupid then I guess

The reality is you're rejecting all the evidence against this because it would make your worldview much more difficult, you believe you know the truth and so reject any other argument out of hand. This is very common, Alex Jones fans believe they have evidence of a NWO conspiracy, your belief is more reasonable because it's pushed by western media snd political establishments but it's pretty much the same game.

Do you reject the evidence from multiple sources that lizard people rule the world? Of course you reject it because claims of evidence no matter how repeatedly they're made add up tnothing if they're all just feeding off their own fantasy.

Is china heavy handed? Yes. Do I think s lot of their actions in Xinjiang are immoral? Yes. Is there evidence of a genocide, no.

How far have you actually looked into the evidence beyond articles in outlets you wouldn't trust taking about issues you actually have detailed knowledge of? The guardian has misrepresented every antiestablishment group they report on but you think they'll be fair to the CCCP? And they're one of fhe most sympathetic, in what world would the US state department say 'actually our main enemy isn't as bad as people say, really they're fairly reasonable especially xomaoired to our own interactions with Islamic terrorists...'

But it's also why they don't really talk about it, they don't want to get caught in lies - remember the US flexing on Russia with their super accurate intel? They'd love to do that to china and if there was good evidence to have they'd have it. This is why all the big claims are based on hearsay from unreliable sources or wild leaps of imagination based on insignificant pictures.

You're sure there's huge amounts of evidence but you can't think of a single bit that has any substance - exactly like the conspiracy loons when they say 'Google FEMA Cano death squads' instead of pointing to their favorite smoking gun because they know you'll just get lost in a sea of people promising theirs strong evidence but never actually getting round to showing it.

As for people using the same demographic argument for Isreal, Isreal isn't building schools and providing healthcare the difference is pretty obvious when you actually compare them - but that doesn't occur to you because you don't actually know any details about the situation in China, which is weird considering how often you've read articles and memes taking about it... almost like they lack vital information because they only want to show one side....

Yes I very well understand its a spectrum but that doesn't mean you can write a blank pass for yourself and claim 'it's just a special aspect of my autism so I can't be blamed for objectively bad actions on my part'

If you have difficulty understanding emotion then use logic and analytical thinking to help. and to help you understand I'll be very clear and direct - I am telling you this because it's practical and useful advice which will improve the quality of your life.

Deaf children have to be taught that farts make noise, likewise in think maybe you don't realize how obviously manipulative you're being in telling this story and how you're arguing about it - this is what will drive people away and make your life harder, like the deaf kid might not know that people can hear him coming but the noise is loud to other people, you might feel that people can't tell you're trying to be manipulative about it and logic her into having to be nice to you but to her and her friend it's as loud as a moaning orgasm.

Logically you can devise simple heuristics to determine appropriate actions, s good one is to consider the actions of the other person and how they compare to the easiest path towards their possible intent. For example in any conversation the person will either want to continue it or end it, however they likely will want to remain polite and kind so won't be pushy or rude - are they adding to the conversation, continuing it, picking it up when it flags or are they giving short answers, mostly answering rarely asking?

The way you describe your conversations with her sounds like you're trapping her with her desire to be polite. For example 'do you want to talk to me' is a question most people wouldn't ask because it forces the person to pick beteeen two potentially negative options; yes or rudeness. It's why you'd generally hear it couched with a soft exit or left unsaid and replaced with an open invitation like 'oh maths is next, the homework was so boring' allowing them to end the conversation with something like 'yeah...' or start it with 'yeah, I didn't even read all the questions it was so boring...'

Of course it's not an exact science but it's very easy to see trends, if you saw a graph with all the conversation trajectories overlaid and it was all one person starting them and the other person taking the path of least resistance and rudeness towards ending them then you wouldn't need to know anything else to know she's not interested.

From her perspective you're seeking her out and trapping her in conversations that she can't politely get out of - especially because she likely doesn't want to hurt your feelings and likely has genuine affection for you as a human and a friend - however that affection does not mean she wants you stalking her or constantly popping up with 'hi, do you want to talk to me' traps.

So to go back to where we started, you can say that you weren't being creepy but what you mean is you didn't intend to be creepy. Seeking her out and trapping her in conversations feels creepy to her, to her it feels annoying and awkward because she doesn't want to be direct but you push her into it time and time again then even when she does you make it more awkward by trying to litigate it and argue your point and telling her that she's wrong about her feelings - people hste that, I bet you would too.

And here's an elephant in the room I'll make explicit because I know you might overlook it otherwise, when you're so ready with a link to Wikipedia explaining how your actions are justified by your autism it makes it very obvious that you're using this to explain why she's wrong to feel like she does. This is one of the many reasons that she's uncomfortable saying no to loaded questions like 'do you want to talk to me' no one wants to look like the assholw who's rude to the special needs kid. Yeah that's a hard pill but it's reality, if you want her to think of you as a nice, interesting and not creepy guy then you have to act like that - you can't use logic and manipulative conversational tricks to force her into emotions.

And yeah don't worry if you try a bit people will let you off a huge amount of mistakes and cringe but not because you're autistic, just because you're interesting and fun to know without being too much of a burden or bore.

Again you're confused, it's the same difficulty people have with the word 'fruit' because in botany we use it very specifically but colloquially it means a sweet tasting enable bit of a plant regardless of what role it plays in reproduction. Colloquially you'd be correct to say that corn grain is not fruit but scientifically you'd be very wrong. Ever eaten an Almond and said 'what a tasty fruit?' probably not unless your a droll biology teacher making a point to your class.

Likewise in biology no one expects a slug or worms or similar to analyze and solve problems but if you look up scientific papers about slug intelligence you'll find plenty, though a lot will also be about simulating their intelligence using various coding methods because that's a popular phd thesis recently - computer science and biology merge in such interesting ways.

The term AI is a scientific term used in computer science and derives its terminology from definitions used in the science of biology.

What you're thinking of is when your mate down the pub says 'yeah he's really intelligent, went to Yale and stuff'

They are different languages, the words mean different things and yes that's confusing when terms normally only used in textbooks and academic papers get used by your mates in the pub but you can probably understand that almonds are fruit, peanuts are legumes but both will likely be found in a bag of mixed nuts - and there probably won't be a strawberry in with them unless it was mixed by the pedantic biology teacher we met before...

Language is complex, AI is a scientific term not your friend at the bar telling you about his kid that's getting good grades.

I use it for fun, frivolity, and beauty.

Everything in space is a planet, even the moon

Big fan of the free info for the world, state funded open source solutions targeted at shitty companies would be good too - I'd probably start by utterly destroying Adobe snd then an open source printer that's easy to manufacture on fllosh machines to kill HP and the rest of the awful junk companies.
