I think your point is kind of silly. There are lots of people that can do lots of things but still people that can’t. I am also disabled. But I realized there are other people who cannot do what I can do that are also disabled. I think it’s pretty clear I was speaking of them. I’m not sure why they are suddenly unimportant in terms of a discussion. When speaking of a discussion, the most incredible breakthroughs are the ones that should be touted, imo. And also in my opinion, the ability to create where you couldn’t before, the ability to express your imagination that has been locked inside your head, is the greatest gift AI will give.
Maybe you don’t feel the same way. That’s fine but don’t discount people with disabilities who cannot write or create right now.
To be clear I’m not saying there’s no value to such improvements, but specifically want people to exercise caution in the realm of the hypothetical.
Rather, we should lift up actual evidence and voices of the people affected. If such disabled people are hard to find, that’s a good reason to reframe. Sometimes the actual needs are much less hypothetical. Sometimes the hypothetical greatly overestimated the tech.
To root this discussion, maybe linking to paraplegic speaking on creative AI tools? Or similar examples of AI being used for a11y today which indicates this trend is realistic and a priority.
Such people are not hard to find it’s just that this discussion is never centered around them. Why? Because this was out of the realm of possibility. This was just not on the radar for people.
