When AI Erased My Disability

A Paralympic swimmer born without a left arm tried using AI to create images of themselves. But the AI always gave them two arms, removing their disability. They say their disability is part of who they are, not a mistake to fix. AI should show real diversity, not just copy society’s biases. Disabled people must be included in designing technology.

Key Sentences:
1. My disability is not something to hide or fix.
2. AI is currently holding up a mirror to our society, reflecting back its biases.
3. When I request an AI-generated image, I want it to reflect all of me.
4. Disabled voices can be erased when inclusivity isn't built into the design.
5. This requires involving disabled people as key contributors to innovation.
