I think this article, while somewhat radical and presumptuous, does have some good points, at least the ones I agree with.
I do think generative AI might have a potential of creating on-demand user interfaces to “personalize” #accessibility, but I think we forget about a human element here. Someone has to build such smarts and, as long as disabled people are deprioritized, whatever the reasons may be, the outcome will likely be not much different.

I think the outcome could be different if we can run the personalized generative UI implementation on the user's own machine, decouple it from specific applications (maybe the generative UI should connect to application APIs), and ideally make it open source. Then the deprioritized groups of disabled people can hack on our own generative UI implementations, as we've hacked on our own screen readers etc.
