“Today’s episode critiques the LLM research assistant ConsensusGPT for its biased representation of autism research. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, an autistic researcher, demonstrates how ConsensusGPT’s reliance on existing data overwhelmingly reflects the medical model of autism, prioritising technological solutions and interventions over autistic lived experiences and alternative perspectives. This bias, the author argues, perpetuates harmful stereotypes and reinforces systemic oppression within the autism community. The article compares ConsensusGPT to other research tools like Google Scholar and Academia.edu, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each platform. Ultimately, the author concludes that whilst ConsensusGPT offers convenient summarisation, it falls short in providing a truly inclusive and representative view of autism research.”
