False choice (with a value judgment in its wording).
You can, & should, continue to raise demonstrable & valid concerns about the accessibility of LLM output and _also_ consider if (or how) you can improve it (he offers options).
But no free labor from me.

So we have a choice: we can complain about the inevitable tide of AI-generated garbage code, or we can get in there and figure out how to make it better — especially when it comes to accessibility.

I think I’m more offended it attributes a metaphor to me that I can find no record of me saying or writing.
elementor.com/blog/web-accessi

Elementor blog post with visible heading, “Myth #6: ‘Overlays or plugins are enough to make my site accessible’” and three paragraphs of text explaining why, partially obscured by an overlay trigger button. Third paragraph starts, “Accessibility expert Adrian Roselli likens relying on overlays to putting a band-aid on a broken leg…”

Me, a hammer salesman: “Let's fix that window, you know, for accessibility.”

TIL: The Japanese Blind ICT Network (JBICT) runs AT surveys (kind of like WebAIM’s).
#accessibility

Paweł Masarczyk (@Piciok@dragonscave.space)
The Japanese Blind ICT Network (JBICT) is currently running their fifth annual survey on Assistive Technology usage preferences of users with visual impairments. As I discovered it only this year, naturally I read through the results of the 2024 edition with the help of Google Translate. Some interesting patterns: 1. The survey was distributed through many channels including mailing lists, Line chat groups (the leading instant messaging app in Japan(, X and, if I understand correctly, a local B…

My loose process for evaluating an ACR (VPAT®):

You may have your own thoughts / ideas. Add them to the comments.
I was also torn between the meat grinder and a Plinko metaphor.

How I Evaluate an ACR (VPAT®)
ACRs are Accessibility Conformance Reports, which are the output of a VPAT, or Voluntary Product Accessibility Template maintained by ITIC, or the Information Technology Industry Council (which is why VPAT often has a ® symbol hanging off it).

424-word hot take: “You Can’t Make Something Accessible to Everyone”

You Can’t Make Something Accessible to Everyone
This post’s title is unpleasant, but it’s important to acknowledge the reality of the human condition and limitations in technologies. Even purpose-built assistive tech. Broadly, when someone says something is “accessible” that’s a hopeful statement that is based on some best efforts. Of course, there are bad actors who assert…
