No empirical support for 'Double Empathy' hypothesis from preregistered study:

"We hypothesized that information transfer would deteriorate faster and rapport would be lower in mixed-neurotype compared with single-neurotype chains."
But no difference was found.

Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.
