So an update on Guide: I've exchanged some long emails with Andrew, the lead developer. He's open to dialogue, and moving the project in the right direction: well-scoped single tasks, more granular controls and permissions, etc. He doesn't strike me as an #AI maximalist can and should do everything all the time kind of guy. He's also investigating deeper screen reader interaction, to let AI just do the things we can't do that it's best at. I stand by my thoughts that the project isn't yet ready for prime time. But as someone else in the thread said, I don't think it should be written off entirely as yet another "AI will save us from inaccessibility" hype train. There is, in fact, something here if it gets polished and scoped a bit more. #blind #screenreader #a11y
@fastfinge What is guide? Is it that weird Mac AI-based screen reader thingy?
@mcourcel No, it's something similar for Windows. www.guideinteraction.com
@fastfinge @mcourcel I used type ahead AI on macOS to do some Linux processes. I find annoying like editing, bash RC. Worked pretty well, and blew my mind at the time. If this thing can do it, I would love it for Windows.
@fastfinge I've got a great test for it. Shweet!
