AI is plainly revolutionary for the blind. You don't need 'high level prosthetics', you just need a smartphone with a camera, and you can now see the world.
AI is also revolutionary for the deaf, neural speech to text is getting so good, that soon 'hearing aids' will be secondary, you can just read from a screen with live subtitles.
You are pretty much making stuff up with " Will it become the accessible norm?Nope." ChatGPT plus only costs $20 a month. How more 'accessible' can it possibly get? Has there ever ever ever been a technology for the deaf and blind as revolutionary AND cheap as this?
If you have some anti-corporate agenda, fine, but self-righteousness gives you no right to lie.
No biggie.
Accessibility is accountability. How accountable is 'OpenAI' to anyone other than it's massive investor Microsoft? You want me to be self-righteous so you can be dismissive of the actual path we are travelling on, likely because you benefit from it; and most likely not because you're blind.
"Anti-corporate agenda" is a pro-human perspective. Difficult to call people liars without being utterly delusional, when there is a clear track record of corporate abuse of purpose.
"Don't be evil!" That turned out well, huh?
Life loves irony; and the truth is, we will grant the blind vision only for them to see it all collapse. Congrats on being a real champion of the disabled.
I already do this on Discord, my bot listens to discord calls, saves the audio in chunks, send them off to whisper and I get a neat tidy live-ish transcription. It's a game-changer honestly because combination APD and ADHD being able to go back in the conversion and see what I missed or came out garbled is amazing. Whisper is so good compared to the previous state-of-art it's nuts. It understands tone, slang. My next project is to see if I can get it to detect different speakers.

During our beta testing, Be My Eyes stores all photos and chat interactions on encrypted servers so that we can review them, if necessary, based on tester feedback. That helps us build a better service based on your feedback. It also allows us to address any safety or content issues that may come up. Open AI does not store the photos or chats after processing them. None of your photos or chats are being used to train the AI.
The storage and use of your photos and chats by Be My Eyes are governed by our privacy policy.
That, does not mean the data isn't being mined for data, or processed into other models. The data may not be directly training AI, that doesn't mean the correlations aren't. Also, the key clarification here is "During Beta Testing".

Obfuscation is the word of the day.
Better than a million others.
Google and co do not need a company like this to train anything and this company probably did not train anything themselves as it's not feasible.
And honestly what's your problem? The image detection trained by us is now good enough to help blind people navigating their life's.
And if this would be too expensive than it's either the market or the state which will fix any pricing issues.
And thanks to ai and the internet those companies even have to be globally efficient and not just in a local market
Do not confuse cynicism with insight.
