To flip it, this means that only AI which responsibly manages it’s initial data set will be successful. Can’t simply scrape and pray, need to have some level of vetting with input.

More labor intensive? Sure, but AI companies aren’t entitled to quick and easy solutions they started with…

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.

You may be right in some ways, but if encourage you (or anyone) to not use theoretical disabled people as counterpoints. Ideally, cite something someone has said instead.

I understand the impulse, but doing so often makes people sound more disabled today andputs words in the communities’ mouth.

There are paraplegics writing and creating art today. There is a great list of needs they have from society which precedes ai assistance.

More nefarious people (not saying you, to be clear) also do this to veil shitty tech or policies. “Think of the disabled, with targeted advertisements based on personal data we’ll make using the web less burdensome”

Not unique, but uniquely central. Fascism cannot exist without a persecuted outgroup. In other contexts, genocide is generally a state consolidating power or resources, but not the focus of these state projects.

The distinction between a square and a rectangle is important, even if you don’t like right angles and parallel sides. Fascism is a flavor of authoritarianism which is uniquely worse and focused on genocide.
