I assume all four of these links were sourced from a chatbot because a) all of them point out the very real pitfalls of using genAI as an accessibility tool and b) none of them include disabled people's perspectives, let alone peer-reviewed scholarship. The fourth link is effectively a press release

The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

I expect people who arenβt academics not to understand this distinction because itβs generally our job to teach them.
But itβs truly alarming to me that there are apparently tenured professors in humanities and social sciences who believe that the process of research matters less than the product
Like most students, I didnβt truly understand what the task was teaching or the test was testing until much later. It was really challenging but I enjoyed it. Still doβprobably to a fault, considering I read exponentially more than I write
