I am not an AI advocate (I’m not an advocate of anything really except for radical individual freedom, independence, and autonomy). If you want my full take on the subject, you’ll have to wait for my first book to come out (which will be soon). However, I have been behind a computer since the days of the Commodore 64 (even back to the Atari 2600). While I have my valid, rational grievances and contempt for society and humanity (just google “wikipedia human impact on the environment” for starters and have fun going down that rabbit hole), there area some upsides: the various cultures, food, entertainment, and of course: computers and tech.
I won’t get into a full thing here, but I started using AI myself dating back to December 2025. But not for content creation or art generation. I have no interest in creating visual art. If I did, I would have no problem using AI. Actually, I did, for a tattoo (it’s somewhere on my instagram account).
Then I got to thinking, if AI can help me catch up to speed and help me, an abled person, improve as a writer (pointing out my mistakes, teaching me things like what an Em Dash is), then I can only imagine how it might help those with disabilities.
And lo and behold, it has! Here are 6 articles written about various aspects or people that AI has enabled the disabled to either create art, or do who knows what else:

Every single individual regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, ability, has intrinsic, natural-born freedom to think, say, act, and live their life as they please. This includes engaging and participating in everything around them, or refraining if they like. Alcohol, tobacco, bikes, cars, living in the city or going off grid, and so on. And when it comes to people with disabilities, they are free to use AI, or not. Or use a combination of traditional methods as well as AI. That is what true freedom is all about: Individual autonomy and independence. To each their own.
