Without that, there wouldn’t really be great vlm and conversational models.
The AI companies might have paid for the dictation of some videos on their own but voice assistants etc wouldn’t have existed and our ability to have AI that eventually understands the world would be much much harder.

- happyPersonR 5mo agolol I’m saying working on accessibility features has helped more than those of us that are sighted. Often times for a lot of us, it’s a drag and comes lower on the priority list, but without it AI, llms etc wouldn’t have the ability to programmatically understand the world. You however…. Maybe need to switch to decaf?

You don’t need to have a permanent disability to benefit from accessibility features. A device designed to work one handed is useful to someone without an arm or a person with two arms who is holding a baby. Subtitles are useful to someone who can’t hear or someone lying to a sleeping spouse or in a noisy place. “Accessibility needs can be permanent, temporary or situational.” https://www.coursearc.com/accessibility-content-fundamentals/ https://www.coursearc.com/accessibility-content-fundamentals...
