"AI is great for accessibility!"
Also: Google's AI-based autocaptions won't transcribe "fuck".
We are not all children. But, as @ireneista points out, even if we are children, accessibility requires the same rights for disabled people as non-disabled people.
The lack of cussing, the lack of vocabulary for sex (beyond, if we are very lucky, clinical body part names, menstruation, and reporting abuse) and other "adult" things in our devices is infantilizing.

@ireneista
IMHO, text to speech or speech to text used by disabled people should have "no" and "fuck" in the most minimal vocabulary option.
What do you do if a kid hits "fuck" over and over and over again and laughs? Probably the same thing you'd do to a non-disabled kid who says fuck over and over again.
The next most important thing on devices is privacy. Too many devices have logging modes that log communication without user consent. Disabled people (inc. kids) should have some privacy.
It's monstrous to think some would want to take ownership of my voice simple because I am disabled.
"too preoccupied with whatever we could, we forgot to ask if we should" - paraphrasing some guy
@ekg @joelle monstrous indeed. infuriatingly, it is also commonplace.
