I don’t use AI to replace people.
I use it to replace unnecessary waiting.
For many of us, AI isn’t a shortcut — it’s access. It means answers instead of queues, participation instead of delay, and getting on with life while the world catches up.
Tools don’t erase humanity.
They remove friction.

A circular cartoon badge showing a skeleton sitting on a park bench covered in cobwebs beside a sign reading “Waiting for a human.” Nearby, a smiling wheeled robot holds a steaming mug labelled “Instant Results.” Text around the border reads: “I don’t use AI to replace a human. I use it to replace waiting.

Decorative poster styled like an aged dictionary page titled “Sloppy Thinking (noun)”. It defines sloppy thinking as treating AI-assisted work as inherently inferior while ignoring how such tools enable clarity, access, and participation. A highlighted quote reads: “AI slop is low-effort creation. Sloppy thinking is low-effort criticism. Both are lazy.”

A simple reframe for #Blind folk who are sick of being scolded for using AI to look at things.
Take a leaf out of Apple’s book and just say:
Yes, I use #AI — Assistive Intelligence.
Assistive Intelligence is the same access/assistive tech disabled people have used for the past 40 years — just easier to use, easier to learn, more reliable, and it doesn’t cost the same as a small family car.

Infographic with three colored sections.
The heading at the top reads: "Layers of Image Description" in large, bold text.

Red section:
Need it right → Human in the loop

Yellow section:
Want it right → Mixture of models

Green section:
For everything else → Everyday tools (BeMyAI, AccessAI, Seeing AI, PiccyBot)

Text at the bottom:
From scraps to systems in ten years. #AIForAccessibility

Anxiety about writing "imperfect" Alt Text can result in less Alt Text, and honestly? That’s the only way to truly fail.
Accessibility isn't mysticism. It isn't a manifesto. It’s just generosity and common sense.
Don't let the fear of being unpoetic leave us in the dark.
bad alt text > no alt text.
imperfect description > silence.
