On Nielsen's ideas about generative UI for resolving accessibility
"Accessibility has failed as a way to make computers usable for disabled users." Thus begins a newsletter by Jakob Nielsen.Per Axbom (Axbom • Digital Compassion)

Last month I argued why ‘AI’ will not fix #accessibility:
https://adrianroselli.com/2023/06/no-ai-will-not-fix-accessibility.html
As if to prove my point, #UserWay launched a broken LLM:
http://FuxMyCode.ai/
Yet the sorta-press shills nonsense like this PR from #AudioEye:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230703154507/https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenaquino/2023/06/29/audioeye-shares-results-of-ai-and-accessibility-study-says-it-illustrates-tremendous-potential-for-responsible-use/?sh=39fe08831898
Pay attention to who promotes LLMs as a solution. Usually it is a money play or laziness.

Currently, when adding a featured hashtag to your profile, if you use camelcase (e.g. MastodonCats) it gets lowercased (e.g. mastodoncats), which isn't great for #accessibility / #a11y.
