Note: there’s people who like to use Unicode math subscript to add “fonts” to their posts.
I’d like to ask people here to avoid doing that as depending on the screen reader it won’t be read because of missing math context; or it will be read as a string of Unicode identifiers.
Hearing a long string of something like “mathematical lower case cursive letter u mathematical lower case cursive letter w mathematical lower case cursive letter u” for your fancy flavour text is not fun for people who need screen readers due to impaired vision, learning disabilities or who are blind.

Bad: In contrast, Microsoft finished an AI product and then immediately fired their entire AI ethics team.
Strangely, I think it is interesting they even had a team to begin with. Lots of companies don't even think AI ethics is necessary, when in my opinion it is paramount. But ethics doesn't make money I guess...

Good: Adobe Firefly... I can't believe I'm about to congratulate them but, here it goes! They only train their image generation content based on opted-in content they explicitly have permission and the rights too.
People have critiqued that Adobe is falling behind on AI. And it's because they are doing it ethically, the right way, get over it lol. I applaud them.

It's possibly even worse to have inaccurate captions than no captions at all. These tools often get words, grammar, and punctuation wrong. They don't understand acronyms or the names of products. They will misspell someone's name or not understand neopronouns. Sometimes they even attribute what was said to the wrong person. This hurts everyone consuming the transcript.
