You might make software accessible without AI but I sure as heck don’t trust everyone else to do it right. Unless you control all software (spoiler, you don’t) then your point is merely theoretical.
Automated browser level accessibility to cover for other people’s errors is a perfectly reasonable solution to the problem that most developers are fucking lazy.
Plus, there is no “big brother bullshit” when it comes to locally run AI. Your data never leaves your device, and the model weights are freely auditable. You seem to fundamentally misunderstand how this works.
And you are fucking gullible to think giving Ai Agents root level access for the sake of accessibility is reasonable or that the big companies are even going to allow local models in the future.
Ai apologists get blocked
Don’t put words in my mouth. Root level access is obviously stupid. AI doesn’t have to be owned by corporations. If you think all AI is the same, you are the gullible one - open your eyes and actually look at the options out there. Apache licensed models exist out there, and no corporation can control that.
You could say the same thing about all software - when it’s run by corporations it’s almost certainly there to harvest your data. But there is a ton of ethical software too!
