"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

why do people keep using this accessibility argument for AI? Is it cause y'all can't 'think of the children' your way to getting the ignorant to agree?

I think he was "arguing" (not sure, as there's the added /s) about the pen and paper. Not everyone can use a pen well, there's also accessibility needs for people with severe dyslexia and such.

You're exactly correct, the /s was showing that I ain't doing a Poe's Law (some comedy about terrible views is so like the actual terrible views that without a wink or other signifier it's difficult to tell it's a joke)

Of course, such arguments are comical. No matter what method you use, you're going to have a system that will be incompatible with somebody's disability. For example, the number of people who cannot use pen and paper are likely vastly outnumbered, by orders of magnitude, by those that have ADHD and find computers vastly more distracting than pen and paper. There's no way to deliver an exam in a single form/medium without leaving people out. You can have alternate forms to accommodate them, but Gwl would whine that this is othering or demeaning. He wants every single person's needs taken care of, while also demanding that everyone be treated in the exact same way. These are too mutually incompatible goals. Equality isn't equity.

Gwl's stance is profoundly anti-disabled. He has an attitude that any accommodation that places disabled students in any way apart is demeaning to the disabled and thus not an option. Of course, that is an impossible standard, as it's impossible to accommodate every disabled person simultaneously, because many disabilities are mutually-exclusive. If you give a written exam and provide a secondary auditory form for the blind students, the blind students will feel othered. If you give an exam in audio form and offer a secondary visual form for the deaf students, the deaf students will feel called out. Universal design is a fine ideal, but it's not actually achievable in all but a handful of cases.

When you set your standard as, "disabled students can never be made to feel othered in any way from the rest of the students," then you make it impossible to actually accommodate the real needs of disabled students.

Who said I was being pro-AI?

I'm being pro-disabity, that's all. AI can get in a bin.
