If you're curious how much of WCAG can be automatically tested (a FAQ I get), this page displays testing rules (ACT) by Success Criterion https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/act/rules/

As a companion, there is also @SteveFaulkner@mastodon.social's excellent “Mind the automation gap” https://html5accessibility.com/stuff/2025/03/27/mind-the-wcag-automation-gap/

if I seem salty about LLMs, it is because some days I spend literal hours trying to deal with second hand burdening.

When talking about LLMs and sustainability, it's not enough to say “we don't know the impact, as companies don't disclose data”.

We may not have a lot of the actual data, but there are pretty reasonable estimates. Even conservative ones say LLMs have magnitudes more climate impact than doing the same thing without LLMs.
