  • Yep, which is why I acknowledge that thats not my ingroup and while I think we should be considerate of potential issues with ai as a accessibility solution, its important to listen to people who actually depend on things like alt text. I’ve heard from people who are frustrated that ai gets treated as a standin for other humans caring about accessibility and find it unable to fill their needs, and I’m sure there are also people who find it really helpful. I couldn’t claim to know what perspective is more common among folks with visual disabilities 🤷🏻‍♂️

    But I do think its worth considering and not just saying “ai solves this problem, let’s just give visually impaired people ai descriptions” without trying to discuss what that means for people and listen to folks on whether thats what’s needed or wanted
