@eric@social.ericwbailey.website I hadn't considered AI for accessibility before... It may plug an unfortunate gap I've seen, which is that developers really, really, really don't want to support a11y in most firms and management doesn't care enough to force the issue.
But if an LLM can reduce the problem of identifying issues to one analysis pass... That's not a small thing. And I'm generally seeing LLMs are better at that than traditional heuristic approaches, because they end up trained on real-world examples of what goes wrong.

@mark@mastodon.fixermark.com Unfortunately, my experience has been a high degree of wildly incorrect fixes when it comes to a LLM performing autonomously. It takes a high degree of scoped human intervention and verification, much to my boss’ disappointment.
