Supporting the disabled is genuinely a good use of AI.

    Here's the webpage for a quadriplegic painter. What's your excuse?

    Yes, all disabled people have the same ability.

    None of them need accessibility tools like image descriptions and segmentation, or dictation and writing assistance.

    You got me.

    Enough with the deliberate bad faith takes. You're not fooling anyone. It's just infantile.

    The point is that pick any disability you can imagine, and you'll find people with that disability creating art. And creating art in countless fields and media. Is it easier to get an LLM to vomit out an image for you? Sure. But again, the same thing applies to non-disabled people.

    This has nothing to do with having a disability. It has everything to do with being lazy.

    Yeah there are some legit good use cases for AI. One of my siblings is dyslexic, an AI bot that can read text out loud would have been fantastic for school. Would be great for them driving, if they had something that was reading aloud the signs they looked at. But I don't think this is possible in a capitalist system because the company providing that AI would also be selling all the data it collected. It would start reading the signs the company wanted first like ads
