The P-drama «It's Okay to Not Be Okay» (2025) is an adaptation of the K-drama of the same name ( «사이코지만 괜찮아» (2020)). Here's my reaction about the premiere episodes.

THE FUTURE OF ACCESSIBILITY
TECHNOLOGY IS ALMOST INVISIBLE 💎
I keep hearing about AI in terms of productivity. Writing faster. Making presentations. Summarising meetings. Saving companies money.
Fine.
But I think some of the most important uses of AI may be much more ordinary.
For disabled people, AI could remove thousands of tiny barriers that other people barely notice.
I have left-sided hemiplegia. I use only one hand.
So imagine an AI I can simply talk to.
It can write what I dictate. Read something aloud. Search the web. Fill in forms. Explain an incomprehensible government letter. Operate a computer without requiring endless clicking, dragging and menus.
It could describe what is in front of someone who cannot see it clearly.
Caption and interpret speech for someone who cannot hear it.
Help someone who struggles with language find the words they are trying to say.
Turn complicated instructions into something understandable.
Remember appointments, medications, names, routines and important details when memory is unreliable.
Help plan an accessible route before leaving home.
And eventually, perhaps, simply stay quietly with us.
If I fall while I am out walking, I would like my AI to notice, ask whether I am all right, and, if necessary, call Peter and tell him where I am.
Not because I want a machine supervising my life.
Quite the opposite.
Because I want to be able to live it safely and more fully.
The best accessibility technology disappears.
It does not constantly remind you that you are disabled.
It quietly removes the obstacle and lets you get on with your day.
That may turn out to be one of AI's greatest contributions.
Not making humans more productive.
Making more humans free.

I WILL NOT BE BULLIED 💎
I received a vicious reply today because I use AI. It wasn't a disagreement. Nor a criticism. It was a full-frontal personal attack! And I’ll admit it affected me more than I expected.
I USE AI MAINLY BECAUSE I'M PARALYSED.
Typing is physically difficult for me. I have the use of only one hand. So, tapping out a post or email with one finger is exhausting. Voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing in a normal amount of time.
THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A DEFENCE.
You can dislike AI. You can distrust it. You can argue about copyright concerns, energy and water use, labour, culture, or anything else that concerns you. I will listen to you and answer you.
But attacking people simply for using AI is not principled.
IT'S BULLYING.
And disabled people should not have to produce a medical justification every time they use a technology that makes their life easier.
AI is a tool. How it is used matters. Who gets harmed matters. Context matters. What does not help is turning “AI user” into a moral accusation and deciding that cruelty is suddenly acceptable.
I’m quite happy to discuss the technology with anyone.
HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE BULLIED FOR USING IT.
I didn't need to do anything about the attack. Before I could even decide how to respond, both the post and the person disappeared from my notifications.
