Man, a lot of the recent 404media podcast rubbed me the wrong way.
The "average Mastdon experience" thing aside (opposite of my experience, but whatever). But I really take chagrin at absolutely dismissing the disabled community using 'AI' services.
I don't like 'AI art', but some of my favorite artists in the world have hands and wrists which don't work anymore, which are a more serious impediment than autism and ADHD, and also have a good time with these models.
On one side, the most insufferable people in the world are straining to find a sympathetic use case for AI, and abusing disabled narratives for that end.
But the other side, which I am more aligned with, rejects that entirely. But in doing so, that rejection takes real people with real disabilities and labels them imaginary.
You can be anti-AI without taking a stance rooted in erasure!
I'm assuming most of the people who follow me are (1) disabled and (2) generally against 'AI', but not necessarily someone who Did Art who had a disability render them physically unable to Do Art.
Put another way, it might be narratively inconvenient, but you need to be prepared to accept that there are people with disabilities you might not have who are also going to use services you consider to be unethical! (This was already the case before LLMs became commercial products!)
