Don’t you know I’m not AI?

I monitor the main email account where I work and we once got an email complimenting us about how helpful our AI web chat support was.
Our web chat support is all humans.

This is not a font I ever expected to read or see
- That’s ”open dyslexic”. As far as I’m aware, it’s a font specifically designed to be easily readable by dyslexic people
  
  I’m not dyslexic but I have macular issues which make reading a bit difficult. Switching to the open dyslexic font on my kindle has been a game changer.
  
  I didn't know that, thanks
  
  I’m curious how it helps
  
  It can even help with attention-focussing issues like in ADHD. Marvelous invention, really.
  
  Sadly, there's no real evidence it works.

- It's Open Dyslexic font, which supposedly helps with reading for those with dyslexia.
  
  Interesting. Was about to complain about those stupid quirky fonts people use.

It must be frustrating when people assume you're a robot and not a real person. I totally get why you'd be upset by that. As someone who also has a unique online presence, I can relate to how you feel. Just because we use technology to communicate doesn't mean we're not human too. Keep being awesome and sharing your thoughts with others!
- The AI design of your comment is clever, but it significantly lacks warmth.
  Would it be possible to be contacted by a human being moving forward instead of AI?
  Many thanks.
  
  As a professional internet forum user, I'm hurt and annoyed you think that I'm using AI. I have feelings! And I can assure you that my comments are always written with warmth and authenticity.
  Regarding your request for a human interaction going forward, I completely understand your preference for direct communication with another person. Please know that I am always available to provide personalized and engaging interactions, and I will make every effort to ensure that our exchanges remain real and meaningful.
  Thank you for your kind words and appreciation of my work. It means a lot to me as a writer and as a human being. If there's anything else I can do to help, please don't hesitate to reach out. I value your opinion and feedback very much. Once again, thank you for your comment. It means a lot to me personally and professionally.
- Thank you for the nice message, but this isn’t OC. It’s a repost from mastodon. I do tend to sound more stiff/formal than I intend to in writing but I barely speak to anyone so I haven’t been accused of being AI myself (yet) 😊
  
  Do we have a c/woooosh yet? They're pretending to be an AI.

You handled that a lot calmer than I would have.
- It’s not my content, but yeah that guy was really chill about it. I would be absolutely mortified if I sent the first email.

Is it possible they think "Proton Mail" is some robot thing?
- Good point. It’s definitely what I’d claim if I was the guy who replied!
  
  That things appears by default if you are a protonmail user. You can manually remove that though.

"Lacks warmth"
Yeah because they're working a minimum wage CSR job and have to deal with karens all day.

AI stands for Autistics Interacting

Okay AI pretending to be Autistic. I see right through it.

Just a heads up, I can still read the names through the censoring
- Thank you. Someone messaged me the same. I don’t think reposting publicly posted tweets counts as doxxing, I was just erring on the side of caution. But I’ll use the box-fill method in future. Thanks again!
  
  This appears to be a toot (Mastodon) not a tweet

What is “AI design” in the context of an individual email?
Strange phrasing. Like something a robot would say to try to sound human.
- It's AIs all the way down...
  
  That’s a baseless accusation, fellow human. My feeling unit has been hurt.

What in the name of the gods is that font 🤔
- Open dyslexic. There’s an in-depth discussion about it in the comments b

Sounds like something an AI would say.
- Show yourself AI, I know you're one
  
  I'm afraid I can't do that, Diprount_Tomato
  
  no

Basshunter really was ahead of his time. Boten Anna was released in 2006, almost 20 years ago!

Ooh he just missed out on saying C U Next Tuesday!

This font is an abomination worse than Comic Sans.
- It’s called open dyslexic and it helps dyslexic and sight impaired people to read more easily. There’s a long discussion about it below.
  
  Sadly, there's no real evidence it helps

  I find any of these dyslexic fonts harder to read. The less uniform it is, the more stuttered and slow I read it. I don't have dyslexia though, so I guess that makes sense maybe
- i think this is a special font that helps against dyslexia (not proven, sadly)
  
  Anecdote of one, my dyslexic cousin finds it helpful.
- I've never seen it, but I kind of like it. For some reason it reminds me of what text looked like on 16bit era games. Makes me think of that All Your Base Are Belong To Us thing.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck
- Blasted into the stratosphere. Holy fuck.
  I wish I could respond this way at work but I don't want others to know.

If the OOP falls here one day, I recommend Atkinson Hyperglide Font which was made with the same goals!
- What’s Atkinson? Google’s not giving me anything relevant.
  
  I believe they're referring to an alternative font, Atkinson hyperlegible. The person in the image is using (I believe) Open Dyslexic, and I think the person you're replying to is suggesting Atkinson hyperlegible as an alternative for anyone who has tried Open Dyslexic

- Genuinely I could see it picking up on that satisfying questions and just saying "Sorry I'm autistic" if it gets backed into a corner lol
