@quanin@fastfinge@dhamlinmusic@lynessence At least, from Ice Crhimp, you could go to a version with less bells and whistles, called frozen shrimp. And then, a very basic one called, breaded shrimp.
@mcourcel@quanin@fastfinge@dhamlinmusic Oh you mean while you're writing all kinds of AI music? Lol but seriously, I agree. I'm worried about the long-term effects on both the planet and our children.
@lynessence@dhamlinmusic@quanin@mcourcel I'm kind of not? Like, they didn't need AI to elect a fascist government to our south. AI might make things slightly better, or slightly worse...but mostly it'll just make things different. We didn't need AI to lose trust in the news media. Covid and vaccine conspiracies were alive and well before GPT. Bitcoin and cars were already destroying the environment. Cheap kids crap on YouTube was already destroying brains. AI is either a cure or a null factor.
@fastfinge@lynessence@dhamlinmusic@mcourcel I mean, all of those things are bad, absolutely. But this drive to lean on AI like people want us to is making us lazy in ways YouTube can only dream of. People at least used to google shit 5 years ago. Now they just ask GPT and GPT googles shit.
@quanin@dhamlinmusic@lynessence@mcourcel Nah, five years ago they used to ask on mailing lists for someone else to Google Shit. The lazy people were always, and will always be, lazy.
@fastfinge@quanin@dhamlinmusic@mcourcel This is truth. I work in customer service, I have people calling me all the time to fill out Google forms that are perfectly accessible. But then they tell me "but I'm blind and this is inaccessible", and I secretly laugh at them in my head because they don't know that I am also blind and in filling the form out for them.
@lynessence@fastfinge@quanin@mcourcel See I have run across this more than a few times, something should be accessible, but the entity that created it only tested it on something like JAWS with Firefox, or Voiceover with Safari, and it falls apart when you show up using Talkback on Edge, or Narrator on IE11.
@dhamlinmusic@fastfinge@quanin@mcourcel These are folks who are using windows with jaws or NVDA, and I know Google forms are accessible with those screen readers. I am using a Mac, which is usually more troublesome and less accessible.
@pixelate@dhamlinmusic@fastfinge@quanin@mcourcel I have heard that, but I've never run into any issues myself with DocuSign. But I suppose there are probably multiple ways to format a document and some are probably inaccessible.
@lynessence@dhamlinmusic@fastfinge@quanin@mcourcel I seem to remember one where the form fields weren't labeled, so it wasn't clear what it wanted me to enter. But then I could be remembering one the many PDF's I've had to look through at work. I absolutely hate PDF's.
