Dear friends, I went down a rabbit hole recently. Reddit threads, research papers, social media posts from disabled creators documenting what AI systems are doing to their voices, their job applications, their public presence, and their sense of being heard at all.
What I found was not surprising. But it was still painful to read. Because what these communities are describing is not new prejudice. It is old prejudice wearing a new interface, moving faster than we can challenge it, and making decisions before we even know a machine was involved. I also found something closer to home. I had started shuddering at my own writing. Wondering whether my sentences sounded too human. Sitting with the fear that an AI detector would look at twenty-seven years of newsprint muscle memory and conclude I was a machine. That fear belongs to all of us now. I wrote about it. About the Reddit voices, the hiring algorithms, the fake disability accounts competing for our space in public conversation, and about what technology has genuinely given me and what it is now threatening to take back. The piece is here. I hope it says something you have felt but not yet seen written down. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/i-shudder-my-own-writing-now-ai-made-me-do-l-subramani-pbbic With regards, L Subramani, Journalist with Deccan Herald. -- Disclaimer: 1.
