“Do accessibility for AIs” has the same ring to it as “do accessibility for SEO” had. It's the plea to at least do it for the robots if you can't be arsed to do it for real humans.

It's dehumanizing.

And sure, in some ableist instances it might work, and in the end how you get to accessibility does not really matter, but I have seen projects under these premises collapse.

For example, someone might suggest Markdown files instead of making stuff accessible. And poof, the whole argument is gone

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.

Totally trustworthy people.

(Any open source project that at the very least requires disclosure of AI-authored contributions should immediately ban Anthropic employees on principle.)

So apparently the source code of one highly valued, LLM-based code-production product has been inspected by external actors, and found to be extensive, but not exactly an impressive feat of engineering.
Reportedly it consists in some part of natural language directions that attempt to coax, beg, and beseech the text generator to produce desired kinds of output.

Has anyone coined the term "autocompleading" for this style of software development yet?
