#a11y FYI: aria-hidden=true blocks Voice Control from showing a Name or Number! Along with fully blocking VoiceOver. Show Grid command works with Voice Control but that is tedious. Remember 1st Rule of ARIA!! = DON'T USE IT!

Honestly, I'm not sure how to react to this discussion or mindset and I am a strong believer in technology and AI.
In case you missed it, Zuck and Satya had a fireside chat at LlamaCon and Satya said 20-30% of Microsoft's code is made by software and Zuck said next year Meta will be at 50% AI Code-gen.
