Thanks for indulging my curiosity, I think it’s a good approach to have to make things as generally useful as possible rather than specific one of commands that only work in one context, i’m sure you get asked this a lot too but where do you see tools like Claude and AI coding, do you think that they will ever be able to write useful jaws or NVDA scripts or is there too much of a gap between what features a blind person needs to be made more accessible?

The problem I see with AI accessibility coding/review is contextual understanding which AI, at this point, is extremely bad at. For example, Ault text, it can describe the image well, but within the context, or purpose of the image within a particular website, it doesn’t have that ability. And that’s just a simple example. But I think the context is the main barrier for wider AI use cases across both coding and review.

Anthony thank you, indeed I did write scrFix for WSL1, then forgot that detail. WSL1 still has a place and is still supported but is less common than WSL2. WSL1 is faster at some tasks that simultaneously require both Linux and Windows access to files, but it is far slower at native Linux execution. That's what I remember anyway.

I do appreciate peoples concerns about losing their jobs to AI and I think that it’s obviously something a lot of people are worried about now in all walks of life but at the same time I do wonder if perhaps we are missing the wood for the trees, after all and I don’t believe AI is some sort of panacea but if it can significantly decrease the developer time to make something accessible or usable, that will mean that more apps and software will become accessible in the future so then more jobs could be as well. I mean there is a saying which I don’t know how true it is that AI doesn’t replace people, it just replaces people who don’t use AI.
