Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

A blind author explains why they rely heavily on AI tools, using an inaccessible EAA document and image-poor product pages as examples. Screen readers, ChatGPT/Claude, Meta Ray-Bans, and apps like Oorion help them navigate text, describe images, and locate objects independently. They distinguish "AI as augmentation" from "AI as compensation," arguing better human-built accessibility would reduce reliance on AI, and urge readers to prioritize accessibility as a form of resistance.
