one of the reasons i hate generative AI is that i have a chronic injury that makes me unable to write by hand for longer than a few sentences and therefore i need a keyboard in order to write essays for classes, and i’m a bit worried that professors won’t allow me to type essays as a result of potential AI use, even though i have a perfectly valid medical reason to need a keyboard. i’ve seen a few posts online saying that the only way to prevent students from relying on AI is to make them write by hand, and while i understand the sentiment and don’t even necessarily disagree with the general point, the matter of accessibility still needs to be addressed somehow, and it’s just a bit frustrating on a personal level as someone who has had to fight with teachers and professors in order for my needs to be met even before the era of chatgpt

#this is just me expressing my frustration please don’t take it as a big political statement #or as me saying that ai will forever end disability accommodations. bc that’s not true. i’m just frustrated and concerned #i don’t even have actual medical documentation anymore so i’ve just been going off the good graces of my professors in the past few years #so don’t come into my replies saying ‘you’ll be fine you have a medical excuse’ because i’ve had to deal with way too many instances of #my medical excuses (well-documented or otherwise) not being enough #never gonna get over last spring bringing in a letter from my psychiatrist that blatantly said ‘kai needs this specific accommodation’#and then going in to meet with accessibility services at my school to have them say ‘we can’t give you this accommodation we need #more documentation’ dawg what the fuck else do you need ??? my psychiatrist isn’t enough ????#yeehaws
