David,

I'm curious to see what those AI tools are using to do their machine learning. Are they scrolling through a huge table of commands for JAWS or NVDA and calling that sufficient? Are they scouring some short youtube video of someone using a screen reader?

Hello WebAIM forum,

I am an NVDA screen reader user, and to preserve some of the "how to"
I have grown to rely on, I have begun asking the Google A.I.
assistant, Gemini, how to do specific tasks with my screen reader?
I am experiencing something of concern in that directions given do not always equal experience gained.
Most recent, trying to link my "pay account" to Fiverr. Their accessibility for the vision impaired in my opinion is a joke.
There is a definite disconnect between what the tutorials intend with what experience provides.
Is this occurrence on the minds of those who produce, administrate, and roll out products for general use by the public?

Input appreciated!
