As a disabled web accessibility practitioner. This pisses me off. Extremely.

GENERATIVE AI DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER REPRESENT DISABLED PEOPLE.

Just fucking hire disabled people like me who know what they're doing.

Believing AI over disabled people is ABLEISM and DEHUMANIZING. For fucks sake.

@ashleemboyer @cstross 100%!

I do not consider myself “disabled”, per se (just colourblind), but UI design decisions frequently seriously impact my ability to use a website or piece of software.

Just get it reviewed by ppl with disabilities, and listen to the feedback, ffs 🤨

@WiteWulf @ashleemboyer @cstross you remind me of when I was teaching at an FE college and had to attend an "awareness" workshop and the ruddy lecturer had made slides with red headlines on an identical-saturation blue background, and not as a "what not to do" demo. My eyes just streamed, as that's how they react to trying to read low-contrast text, and everyone's like "WTF?" Yeah, they didn't realise they had one of us among the teachers. Great awareness, folks(!)
