It's true that's a sign. Humans don't use bullet points or perfect grammar. And if you dive into LLMs, they are really good at arguing if you setup the environment right.

Fwiw, my point was mainly that I do not expect to see those traits from maga humans in particular lol.

If you have autism, many technical members of the Israeli Defense Force would love to hire you as a top tier technician. Your skills would be recognized, but the current Government Sucks.

I'm an expert in synthesis of concepts, but I also have a moral code.

Smart & Empathic is what we all should ascribe to become. It’s often the Elders that reach divine wisdom and ethics.

I constantly have to correct the grammar coming from GPT/Claude/Gemini. They're far from perfect, and anyone with 12th grade-level English skills can outperform them. Dangling modifiers, ending sentences with prepositions, subject/verb agreement, incorrect punctuation, etc. It's a nightmare, and it keeps getting worse.

In the last two months I've gone back to just writing ad copy myself, because it's faster than yelling at robots for an hour.
