I actually beg to differ for one reason. I'm blind. I can now send pictures to chat gpt and it will describe them to me. So, until two years ago, I could only read text posts on Reddit. But now, thanks to Chat GPT, I can actually interact with pretty much all of reddit. I can do memes now, which is a cool thing. But the best thing I learned from chat GPT pictures was the majesty of Niagara Falls. I've been there once before. But because I'm blind, it was just loud rushing water. With Chat GPT, my friends had taken a pic of the falls, which they sent me. Chat GPT described in as much detail as it possibly could and I was completely amazed by the falls after that. So, I hear your concerns. But Chat GPT has made my world so much bigger with the ability to describe pictures.
