Can you elaborate how an user interface based on conversation is even remotely as efficient as a keyboard-operated screen reader? With a screen reader I can get information out of a web page much quicker than the time it takes me to think how to ”ask” for it. The only advantage with this approach I could see (assuming there would be no hallucinating etc.) is that AI can extract things out of an inaccessible / unfamiliar interface. However, in all other respects this approach would effectively lock blind people to using only the capabilities the AI is able to do. As a blind software developer this idea of a supposedly viable user interface sounds patronising more than anything.
