Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

(edit: I kind of regret posting this image for reasons described below, but I'll leave it up for context.)
Disabled people are not going to all agree on everything, especially when they are pretty diverse. Some will like gen ai, and some will not.
It depends on what the disability is if it could help or not.
I'm glad Mary speaks for all disabled people and we can finally put this topic to rest.
Mary doesn't get an opinion because it doesn't represent 100% of people like her!
Nah you just don't get to use Mary's opinion as the final word on the matter.
Mary speaks for herself and we are acknowledging her personal opinion.
In my case (ADHD) I agree with Mary, I certainly don't need inaccurate AI summaries shoved down my throat while being told it is a great thing for making things accessible for people like me.
I think that in this context it does not apply because the person in the image is talking about people who use accessibility as an excuse to keep asking ChatGPT to do their homework, and I in particular refer to the legitimate use of AI solely and exclusively to facilitate accessibility. I could give as an example the Bots on Mastodon that, if you follow them, when you upload an image without Alt Text, they respond to the Toot with a detailed description of the image.
Where is the context about using AI to do their homework?
Not the OP so their point of view might differ.
I've only seen LLM and ADHD connected via writing / homework tasks. Perhaps that's the same link OP thought of.
And the txt in the image is anyway just an aggressive individual opinion. I don't get the logic of "I don't want or use this so no one is allowed to see it as beneficial".
