As a person who almost certainly has ADHD, AI has done wonders to my social skills. You can either analyze what went wrong when you accidentally blurted out something somewhat inappropriate or pre-plan your presence in a social setting to avoid a costly faux pas, e.g. in job interviews or formal gatherings. Most pre-AI advice on the Internet for these situations is either very heavily NT-coded (blogs, self-help) or has very strong social desirability bias (forums with an upvote system).

I don't envy your reading comprehension.

I would argue that neurotic bureaucrats forcing everyone to share their excessive worries are rent-seeking at best and actually-not-intelligent at worst.
