  2. Of course it's #ableist as fuck, but that doesn't matter, right? It's more important to be against the #technology you don't understand than to consider #disabled people?

    See also: plastic bag bans and poor people, straws and disabled people, etc...

    I of course have talked about how #AI is #assistive #tech for my #ADHD, but I also know that a ton of you don't actually believe ADHD is a disability in spite of whatever lip service you give.

    I know this because I know exactly how people treat me.

    What you're not considering is that #LLM technology is now critical for speech to text, and is enormously helpful in general for people who have difficulty typing because of things like blindness or digit immobility.

    I know some asshole is going to come here and say that they're disabled or have ADHD... blah blah blah.

    Motherfucker, just because your experience with your disability isn't affected in this way doesn't mean no one else is...
