I think its on the user of the bot for being a hack.
Hypothetically, what if a blind person used LLMs for coding assistance?
Oh gods, not the "Think of the blind coders" just stop. Stop using the disabled as a meat-shield for reckless foolishness.
Some wanker a year or two back told me that AI was the only way to truly democratize things like art. I was like what about practice? And they got really pissed about the potential for people to have no hands or arms or legs.
For what? TTS worked fine for decades without LLMs and is less prone to hallucinating bullshit.
I know a blind person who uses an LLM for coding assistance. Mind you he doesn’t need to use it, I’ve known him for 20 years and he did just fine without it.
How does a blind person read the generated code to verify it?
