Re:Why Conscious AI Is a Bad, Bad Idea by haswell on Saturday May 13, 2023 @03:58PM (#35932116)
I do think the “cure” framing is a bit odd, but then started thinking back to my own initial discovery.

When I first learned this is a thing and realized that I have it, I initially started feeling like I’d been deprived of something. That this mode of experience was so absent in me that I couldn’t even imagine what other people actually meant when they talked about visualization, and this bothered me.

But over time my perspective shifted, and I stopped seeing it as a disability of some kind and instead as a different flavor of experiencing the world. To your point, I have linguistic strengths that are far more attuned than the strong visualizers I know. They come to me when they need something written. I go to them when I need advice about arranging my living room.
