Today in #ChatGPT attempting to be helpful with a thing I'm building: "Consider bumping the font size in your CSS so NVDA/VoiceOver don’t make you squint your ears." I, uh, I'm not sure #AI is ready to do #accessibility yet. I mean, I should bump the font size for #a11y reasons...those just aren't the right reasons. I can't wait until we have completely #blind designers building CSS with nothing but AI. Anyway, back to squinting my ears!
I feel like this is something someone like @aardrian should do. Have a blind person closely follow AI's advice to make a good looking website theme and layout. Then when it inevitably all goes wrong, it's an excellent example; good-looking websites are way more common than accessible ones. So if AI can't help a blind person with no visual experience make something look good, how can you expect it to help someone with no accessibility experience make something work well.
@fastfinge It’s a good idea for a post, but requires someone having to deal with me to make it happen.
That said, I feel like someone in my feed was working on a WordPress theme with an LLM to address styles. I’ll have to dig around (Masto’s lack of search is a pain).
@fastfinge If you want to take on the burden of picking a fight with LLM to design a page and then pass it in front of me, I would be delighted to offer my feedback.
