Hey folks, does anyone know of any work so far about (or people working on) neurodivergence and AI detectors? There's been some great writing with anecdotal evidence, but it seems like really low hanging fruit that I'd love to see more on. (I'm not asking because I'm thinking of doing it - I just want to see someone else's work. :) )

@writerethink were you doing something like this, or am i misremembering?

@Alien_Sunset @cfiesler that’s right! Currently in final stages of IRB approval process for the study, but we’re going to be looking at whether folks who score high on AQ are also more likely to get falsely flagged as “AI generated” by detection tools.

@writerethink @Alien_Sunset That’s awesome! Have you come across any other evidence? I ask because I’m planning to make a video about this - would you mind if I mention that I know that there’s some research in progress? (And once you have results, let me know if you want to share widely. :) )

@cfiesler @Alien_Sunset I’m assuming you probably already have heard about this case (involving @FractalEcho, who’s written great stuff about their experiences): https://nypost.com/2023/07/21/autistic-purdue-professor-accused-of-being-ai-for-lacking-warmth-in-email/

@writerethink @Alien_Sunset @FractalEcho Yep that’s one of the examples I have!

Also I feel very silly now; I just realized you wrote the book chapter I read a few days ago. Well you were getting cited anyway. :)

I was mostly curious if there’s empirical work out there yet and I think the answer is no!

@cfiesler @Alien_Sunset @FractalEcho yep, as far as I know there’s nothing, so I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to change that soon!

@writerethink @cfiesler @Alien_Sunset one of the reasons I haven't done empirical work yet is that I refuse to feed the beast.

@FractalEcho @cfiesler @Alien_Sunset yeah, that’s absolutely a concern I have, and I’m trying to be really careful about it. (As a writing prof my biggest concern is protecting students from professors using these detection tools, and I’ve seen people in my field take the research showing bias against L2 writers seriously, in terms of how they think about detection tools, but not taking the anecdotal evidence I’ve shared about myself and other ND writers seriously.)

@writerethink @FractalEcho @Alien_Sunset This would have been exactly what I'd expect. :( The reason I asked was because even when I was thinking about just posting on social media about this, I was anticipating a significant "but where's the evidence" reaction.
