So there's tech that I think is both bad for society and incredibly unethical in it's creation and propagation that is nothing to say of the utter privacy nightmare it poses for its users.
But all of this is now okay so long as the person using it is from a disadvantaged enough background?
Like, I understand that we want to make extra effort in order to accommodate those with disabilities in our society and part of that can be some moral compromise.
But surely this has limits, no? In fact I know that those limits exist.
But is it really ableism to defer to those?
I'm not saying that the person you encountered wasn't ableist. But there is a lot more nuance there than "people who hate 'AI' are ableist by default". The same way that people who are in favour of abolishing cars in their city are not doing so to specifically take mobility options away from paraplegics.
