wxMaxima accessibility

Dear all,

No idea if that will work out, but - a few years ago I tried to add 
accessibility to wxMaxima, but to no avail.

Now a colleague of mine has convinced me to try an AI abonnement. The AI 
cannot really test it - at least on my computer, but I wanted to 
announce that one of the first jobs I am giving to the AI is to try 
again to add accessibility to wxMaxima. The result was loads of code 
changes. Currently a different AI model is trying to review that code. 
With a big bit of luck tomorrow's Nightly Build will actually provide 
some accessibility. If it does any feedback you send me will be 
forwarded to the AI that will try to improve things.

My current impression is:

  * AI is no silver bullet.
  * It tends to try to convince you that it did a good job. If the
    summary focusses on how good that job was - it often knows it didn't
    manage to make it work and hopes you'll never test.
  * If it doesn't find a bug it might just do random changes to the code
    hoping that will help, but
  * it is excellent at some jobs human beings aren't good at,
  * it has resolved many problems I've been trying to resolve for years and
  * sometimes finding a solution is an iterative task when dealing with
    an AI - as it is when dealing with human beings.

Kind regards,

   Gunter.
