This. As someone who’s fought hard at companies to prioritize accessibility work, I think if executives get word that people with disabilities can “solve the issues themselves” you’ll actually get less accessible software (if you can believe it) in the long run.
I won’t fault someone for using what’s available, but anyone acting as if LLMs are a longterm solution for accessibility is either not thinking this through, or purposely engaging in bad faith.
@torb AI does not take care of accessibility needs. It makes an excuse not to solve them by pretending folks who need accommodations can be satisfied by low quality scraps from the slop bots acting as intermediaries between them and the inaccessible things.
