Technology is not just sprouting out of the ground out of its own. It is humans who are making it. Therefore if technology is helpful it was humans who helped.
> Let’s not mention the fact the particular large language model, LLM called Chat GPT they chose, was never the right kind of machine learning for the task of describing images.
Weird. I would think LLMs are exactly the right kind of tool to describe images. Sadly there is no more detail about what they think would be a better approach.
> I fully predict that blind people will be advocating to make actual LLM platforms accessible
Absolutely. The LLM platforms indeed very much should be accessible. I don't think anyone would have beef with that.
> I also predict web accessibility will actually get worse, not better, as coding models will spit out inaccessible code that developers won’t check or won’t even care to check.
Who knows. Either that, or some pages will become more accessible because the effort of making it accessible will be less on the part of the devs. It probably will be a mixed bag with a little bit of column A and column B.
> Now that AI is a thing now, I doubt OCR and even self-driving cars will get any significant advancements.
These are all AI. They are all improving leaps and bounds.
> An LLM will always be there, well, until the servers go down
Of course. That is a concern. This is why models you can run yourself are so important. Local models are good for latency and reliability. But even if the model is run on a remote server as long as you control the server you can decide when it becomes shut down.
