How Human Capability Indexing Creates Access for Marginalised Groups - Guest blog by Ieman Aljak

Unique Value

I tried my hardest to get ChatGTP to write this blog post. I am unreasonably busy and the thought of getting Generative AI to formalise my consciousness and personal experience in prose was more than appealing. Tried as I might, all I got was generic and regurgitated statements as if a parrot were doing their best to make sense of words it didn't understand according to a pre-defined fact finding and grammatical relationship building structure.
