[SC 2.4.4] Its main strength comes from fully human efforts
Work had me write about the accessibility agent we're piloting. Setting aside all the main concerns of AI usage, I consider it a harm reduction effort.
While it is imperfect, the agent is catching and fixing at least some issues at the volume contemporary workflows are producing code at.
The other funny bit is its main strength comes from fully human efforts. Without that, I doubt it would be effective at all.
I also worry about it becoming invisible infrastructure. It is my sincerest hope it does not further move the needle away from people learning about and making their work, making them think this is something that can be fully automated away instead.
