   @jscholes This is actually super clever. I wrote to them about an API issue last year and got "please clear your browser cookies and try again" as a response...maybe they should put their own AI model in charge of support. I think it'd do a better job. But in the meantime, this is a really good DIY solution and something that would never occur to me. It could probably also write a whatsitmonkey script to fix the various issues permanently, but I haven't tried this.

     If you're a #screenReader user and struggling to find the start of responses in the #ChatGPT interface, you can instruct it to add a heading at the start of each one:

     1. In the web interface, press the "User" button.
     2. In the menu, choose "Customize ChatGPT".
     3. In the dialog that comes up, the second multiline text field is labelled: "How would you like ChatGPT to respond?". In this field, you can add something like: "Whenever you respond, prepend a level 1 heading in the Markdown so I can easily find the start of the response with my screen reader.".
     4. Near the end of the dialog, ensure that the toggle switch is in the on position, which will confusingly mean it has a label of: "Disable chat preferences". But this does mean it's enabled.
     5. Press "Save".

     In my experience, this works for something like 96 to 98 percent of responses, and is probably possible with other models too.

     #accessibility

     A few responses I'm not interested in:
     1. I hate AI.
     2. I hate OpenAI.
     3. I hate ChatGPT.
     4. OpenAI should be better at accessibility (true but unhelpful).
     5. "This is a level 1 heading, should it be level N?"
