This is consistent with my "needles are scary" theory for a lot of anti-vaxxers

Indeed. For me what I'm against is AI is replacing creative effort, or costing people their jobs.

I'm totally for using it to improve accessibility!

Honestly wish people would be more nuanced about AI, the way people talk about AI being bad in all cases makes me feel really guilty for using accessibility software in order to have a voice because I can't use my vocal vords which simply wouldn't be possible without it
