Oh, I didn't think you were disagreeing.

My entire point is that since task paralysis can be a symptom of an executive dysfunction, it is worth the time for OP to talk to their doctor about it.

I don't think that the previous poster said, nor implied that OP definitely has an executive dysfunction because of this one symptom.

Neither of which I think you have refuted at any point, in any capacity. :)

I'm still not a doctor, but as a first-aid certified person, signs and symptoms can be extremely useful in helping someone. It gives you a starting point to try to figure out what's happening.

Further investigation is always required.

Medical diagnosis is a science. Things need to be proven. You can't just go on vibes or feelings or whatever.

Since OP describes some symptoms that can be associated with executive function disorders, doesn't mean that they definitely have those conditions. Only a qualified doctor should be making that kind of conclusion.

Days in lieu, from working OT on salary.... IMO, is required.

I don't work for free; if you're paying me to be present for specific hours, regardless if it's salary or not, then I expect to work during those hours and not any other time.

If, as a salary employee, I'm paid for results and as long as I meet my deadlines (and deadlines are reasonable) I can work whenever, then yeah, I'll probably put in unpaid OT sometimes. I'll tell you something though.... With my level of experience, it would be unusual for anything to take so long that it requires that I work more than what is typical.

As someone who works for a living: praise is nice, but pay is required.

... Fuck you, pay me.

Oh... Uhhh... Hyperactivity in the name, isn't behavioral hyperactivity. That can certainly be a symptom but the naming comes from hyperactivity in specific brain functions, as in, your brain works too much on things inappropriately.

While that can manifest as hyperactive behaviors, it doesn't always.

... Which is probably why they qualified their statement with "might".

OP might have an executive dysfunction.

I am not a doctor, but I agree that the possibility that OP has an executive dysfunction is nontrivial. Depending on where you live, finding out might be free. Just saying.

I don't see what you've written and provide the most likely response to the prompt you've made.

I cognitively think about what you've said, comprehend it, consider the concepts you have portrayed and formulate an idea that becomes my response. I then transcribe that response into language, and write it out in such a way that others can comprehend.

Cognition is the part that's missing. And what we don't know about how human cognitive abilities work, far outweighs the amount we do know. Right now our best theories involve a complex interconnection of brain cells that send signals along neurons to other cells and that somehow, in a way we don't currently understand, results in the complex thought and cognition that we, as humans, have.

To summarize cognitive capabilities into a series of neurons firing is reductive and discounts the very Science that you are basing your answer upon. The Brain is still a thing that we have a lot of work left to do before we can understand it. Your comment is disrespectful of the scientists that are trying to push the understanding of the brain to new levels.

Be quiet.

Nope. There's no cognition, no cognitive functions at all in LLMs. They are incapable of understanding actions, reactions, consequences and outcomes.

Literally all it's doing is giving you a random assortment of words that vaguely correlate to indicators that scored highly for the symbols (ideas/intents) that the prompt you entered contained.

Literally that's fucking it.

You're not "talking with an AI" you're interacting with an LLM that is an amalgam of the collective responses for every inquiry, statement, reply, response, question, etc... That is accessible on the public Internet. It's a dilution of the "intelligence" that can be derived from what everyone on the Internet has ever said, and what that cacophony of mixed messages, on average, would reply with.

The reason why LLMs have gotten better is because they've absorbed more data than previous attempts and some of the outlying extremist messages have been carefully pruned from the library, so the resultant AI trends more towards the median persons predicted reply, versus everyone's voice being weighed evenly.

It only seems like "AI" because the responses are derived from real, legitimate human replies that were posted somewhere on the Internet at some point in time.

This is as much of an artificial intelligence as a mannequin is an artificial life form.

Yuuuuup. It's like taking nearly the entirety of the public Internet, shoving it into a fancy auto correct machine, then having it spit out responses to whatever you say, then send them along with no human interaction whatsoever on what reply is being sent to you.

It operates at a massive scale compared to what auto carrot does, but it's the same idea, just bigger and more complex.

Making you pretend to like it is HR's kink.

Researching the company used to be a thing you did when selecting a career/lifetime position.

.... Since that doesn't happen anymore, I couldn't give any less of a shit about what your company is all about. I can do thing, you want to pay me to do thing. It's as simple as that. All the rest of this crap, I just don't have the time, effort or shits to give.
