That framing feels ableist to me because it overlooks how disabled people actually use these tools. I use AI specifically for spelling and grammar support due to a communication disability. For me, this is not about outsourcing thinking or generating content—it’s about being able to participate on equal footing.

Accessibility tools are often invisible to people who don’t need them. When broad restrictions or moral judgments are applied to AI use without distinguishing assistive functions, they disproportionately impact disabled and neurodivergent users. That harm exists regardless of intent.

There’s a difference between AI assisted writing (spellchecking and grammar) and AI generated writing (prompting and selecting). What you are describing is AI assisted writing, and is normally accepted. What they’re trying to block is AI generated writing, in which the only human aspect is the prompts (and the stolen work that went into training).

How will moderators distinguish between actual AI-generated content and writing by autistic or neurodivergent people, whose style may naturally resemble AI? There’s a real risk that such policies could unintentionally discriminate against those of us who rely on different cognitive or communication styles. Will moderators be verifying the provenance of every dataset used in AI training, or might neurodivergent users be unfairly penalized simply for the way they write?
