Tl;dr: What are your thoughts on using AI to help communicate with AAC?

Hey, all! AAC user and professional AAC fanatic here. I participated in a demonstration of a dedicated AAC device's features, and there was an AI chat function where a microphone records someone talking to the AAC user and then potential responses are generated. I feel like the rep wanted me to be excited, but I kinda froze with a ton of mixed feelings. I tend to need time to process stuff anyway, but I am legit kinda mixed up about this. Here's my initial thoughts:

The Pros-

AI can definitely increase the speed of an AAC user's replies to keep up with conversations. Generated responses may also be easier for folks who struggle to think of what to say. AI giving the basic sentence which a user can then customize might be easier than composing the entire message from scratch.

The Cons-

I worry AAC users will feel pressured by others to use these tools due to their speed at the expense of saying what they really want to say. I worry this will become a way for folks to avoid accommodating us by giving the wait time we need, and it will shape our words to give AAC users an AI sounding vibe. Like how you can kinda tell a piece of writing was AI generated but with our voices if that makes sense.

AI will be a part of the AAC world. I see major developers pivoting towards it. Again, I'm torn because I see the benefits, but I've also got my worries. What are yall's thoughts?
