Everyone wants AI to do something clever.
Forget clever. Let it do something useful first.
Most products still speak in a language nobody uses. Error messages say "Invalid input" when they mean "Enter your postcode without spaces." Forms ask for "credentials" when they mean "email and password." Empty states explain nothing and are worse than useless.
That is accessibility work.
Plain language helps everyone. It especially helps people who are tired, stressed, distracted, dyslexic, using translation software or trying to complete a task with a screen reader set to speak at higher speed.
That's where AI can be useful today. It's not a magical writer! But it does a damn fine job as a first pass.
Ask it to rewrite error messages so they say what happened and how to fix it. Ask it to simplify form help. Ask it to turn vague button text into something specific. Ask it to explain legal copy and jargon.
Then, and this is important, have a human check it. Don't skip that.
The win is not that AI writes some words for you, but rather that it makes bad words easier to notice, easier to test and easier to replace.
How hard would it be to ask AI:
Can a person understand this the first time they read it?
If the answer is no, fix that before you ask AI to do anything clever.
