@MostlyBlindGamer@dragonscave.space What exaserbates this is the lackluster attempts at #accessibility we're used to, I think. I'm branching off something you said slightly but LLM-generated output in the #accessibility space often doesn't need to be *good*. It needs to exist and work, to begin with. Because the alternative is zero access at all, with no seeming recourse particularly from non #FOSS projects. Accessibility "fixes" that are just patched on in hindsight, which is most of them, rarely work elegantly or efficiently, they just ... work, ish, kinda. Compared to an LLM that you can iterate with until it works good enough for you specifically, that's almost not even a choice worth considering for some.

@MostlyBlindGamer@dragonscave.space having said that, the apparent lack of forethought I've seen from some in the space has been rather apalling, essentially deciding that LLM output is superior because you don't have to worry about humans having something else to do or requiring payment when you need a whim answered. I sincerly hope that if I ever get that careless about both humans and the environment, someone who knows me well will set me straight, perhaps with the help of a particularly spiky cactus

@zersiax@cupoftea.social @MostlyBlindGamer@dragonscave.space And that, essentially, is the problem. People not identifying the difference between works well enough for me and I should release this to the world.
